Ca Ro Phi Hop (Steamed Tilapia with Oyster Sauce)
You might recognize this dish at Chinese restaurants... It's pretty common. My mom makes it at home and it's super easy! Tastes just like the dish at a Chinese restaurant :) I need to make this some day for my Taiwanese boyfriend... hopefully he likes it!
Ingredients:
1 whole tilapia
Ginger
Salt and pepper
Maggi Seasoning sauce
Oyster Sauce
2-3 Green onions
Chicken broth
Vegetable Oil
Start with one whole tilapia - Remember to sprinkle some salt into it and rinse it with water to clean.
1. Use a steamer of some sort. Steam the tilapia on high heat for fifteen minutes. You can place the tilapia into a bowl and just put it into the steamer.
2. Slice and shave a 1-2 inch knob of ginger and place into bowl.
3. Add 1 tablespoon maggi seasoning.
4. Add 1 tsp oyster sauce.
5. Dash of sesame oil if you have it. This is optional. I didn't have any when I made it and it still turned out really well.
6. Add 1/4-1/2 tablespoon sugar.
7. Add 1/4 tablespoon of bot nem ga (chicken broth).
8. Slice 2-3 scallions (the long way, not dice!)
9. Sprinkle in some pepper and mix the mixture.
10. In a small skillet, add some oil with heat on high. Wait for oil to get hot - add the mixture. Stir just briefly to get the mixture hot. Add about 2 tablespoons of water.
11. Pour over the fish - retaste. Add more maggi seasoning or oyster sauce if necessary. I had to add about another teaspoon of maggi seasoning and 1/2 teaspoon of oyster sauce. Remember, these are rough estimates! Add to your liking!!
12. Steam fish for another 10 minutes - with the lid closed. Enjoy!
