Ingredients:
  • 4 (about 150g each) fish fillets (John Dory or snapper), skin on
  • 2.5cm piece ginger, cut into thin strips
  • 8 shallots (spring onions), cut finely into 10cm lengths
  • Sesame oil, to drizzle
  • 170g can black beans, drained
  • 40ml (2 tbsp) black bean sauce
  • 40ml (2 tbsp) rice wine
  • 20ml (1 tbsp) soy sauce
  • 40.00 gm caster sugar
  • 350g snow peas
Instructions:
  • Prepare the bamboo steamer by lining it with baking paper. Arrange the fish fillets on the base of the steamer. Mix the ginger and shallots together. Spread half of this mixture over the fillets, saving the rest for later. Season the fish and then lightly drizzle with sesame oil.
  • Combine the black beans, black bean sauce, rice wine, soy sauce, and sugar in a pan. Bring to a boil, then simmer over low heat for 1-2 minutes.
  • Place the steamer over a pan of simmering water and steam the fish for 5 minutes. Then add the snow peas, ginger, and shallots and steam for an additional minute. Serve by placing a bed of snow peas, ginger, and shallots on each plate, then top with the fish and drizzle with the black bean sauce.
