Steamed Red Snapper Or Other Fillets With Hard Cooked Egg Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Put eggs in small pot, cover with water and place on stove over high heat. When water boils, cover, turn off heat, and set a timer for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, set up steamer with at least an inch or two of water on bottom and a tight-fitting lid; bring to boil. When eggs are done, cool under cold running water, peel and chop.
• Season fish with salt and pepper and set in steamer above boiling water. Fish will cook through in 5 to 10 minutes (longer if steamer is very crowded). Fish is done when a thin-bladed knife inserted into thickest part meets little resistance.
• While fish is steaming, put butter in small saucepan and turn heat to medium. When its foam subsides and it begins to turn brown, add the chopped eggs and some salt and pepper, along with about 1/4 cup stock. Add cream or a little more stock and bring to boil, stirring, until thoroughly blended and slightly thick; taste and adjust seasoning. When the fish is done, lay it on a plate and spoon sauce over it. Garnish and serve.

Steps:

• Combine soy sauce, sugar, ginger, garlic, pepper and salt.
• Arrange fish on steaming rack.
• Brush fish with soy-ginger mixture.
• Place rack over boiling water.
• Cover.
• Steam 10 minutes or until fish flakes when tested with a fork.
• Brush occasionally with soy-ginger mixture.

Steps:

• In a shallow pot that a bamboo steamer fits over or in a wok, add the water and bring to a boil. You can also use a traditional steamer that has 2 layers. Add the ginger, lime leaves, citrus zest, cilantro, scallions, white wine, jalapeno, and peanut oil. Season well with salt. Bring back to a boil and cook for 10 minutes for the flavors to combine.
• Season the fish with salt and pepper. Place the first layer of the bamboo steamer over the pot. Line the steamer with the cabbage leaves, making sure that the surface is not completely covered so the steam can get through. Lay the fish, skin-side up, on the cabbage leaves. Cover and steam for 1 minute.
• Place the bok choy on the second layer of the bamboo steamer in 1 layer. Uncover the steamer and place the bok choy layer on top of the fish. Cover and steam for about 5 minutes, or until the fish is just cooked through and the bok choy is tender, but still has some crispness. Check the fish for doneness by gently inserting a fork into it. If the fork slides easily in, the fish is done. If the fork resists sliding in, it is not quite done. Remove the fish and bok choy and keep warm while you make the sauce.
• Heat a medium saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the peanut oil and heat. When the oil is hot, add the ginger, garlic, and jalapeno and saute until just translucent, about 3 minutes. Do not allow the vegetables to brown. Add 4 ounces of the steaming liquid and the soy sauce and boil for 2 minutes. Do not season with salt as the soy sauce is salty. Add the sugar and boil for 1 minute, or until the sugar is completely dissolved. Lower the heat and whisk in the butter. Add the scallion whites, stir, and remove from the heat.
• Place some jasmine rice on a platter. Top with the steamed bok choy. Top the bok choy with the snapper, skin-side up. Spoon the sauce over the fish. Garnish with the scallion greens and cilantro sprigs.

Steps:

• Place a steaming rack in a large wok. Fill wok with water to 1 inch below the rack. Place a heatproof plate on rack, making sure plate doesn't touch sides of wok.
• Season fillets with salt and pepper. Coat lightly on both sides with sesame oil. Sprinkle flesh side with chopped cilantro.
• Place one fillet on the plate, skin side down. Sprinkle with some lemon grass or peel; sprinkle remainder around plate. Place second fillet, skin side up, on top of first.
• Scatter scallions, ginger, and mushrooms on top of and around fish. Drizzle with soy sauce and vinegar.
• Bring water to a boil, turn down to a steady simmer, and cover wok. Steam until the fish flakes at thickest part, 10 to 15 minutes. Serve directly from plate.

Steps:

• Put the eggs in a small saucepan, add water to cover, and turn the heat to high. When the water boils, cover the pan, turn off the heat, and set a timer for 10 minutes. (Meanwhile, set up the steamer; don't start steaming the fish, though, until the eggs are done.) When the eggs are done, cool them under cold running water, then peel and chop.
• Put the stock in the bottom of a tight-lidded steamer and the fish above it. Season the fish with salt and pepper. Bring the stock to a boil and adjust the heat so that it continues to bubble, but not violently. The fish will cook through in 5 to 10 minutes.
• While the fish is steaming, put the butter in a small saucepan and turn the heat to medium. When its foam subsides and it begins to turn brown, add the chopped eggs and some salt and pepper.When the fish is done, lay it on a plate and thin the egg sauce with about 1/ 4 cup of the stock. Stir in the cream if you're using it, taste and adjust the seasoning, and spoon the sauce over the fish. Garnish and serve.
