Steamed grouper with minced garlic and homemade black olive and black bean paste 蒜茸欖豉醬蒸海青斑腩

We dined out a few days in a row last week, definitely need a healthy, nutritious and delicious meal at home! I bought a piece of grouper from the fishmonger, told the lady to cut it into big chunks as I planned to steam with homemade black olive and black bean paste. Black olive and black bean paste is not available in market, you can replace it with black bean paste with minced garlic in a jar from supermarkets or grocery stores.

This dish is very good with steamed brown rice, must add the jus over the rice, it's awesome!

Ingredients:

• Grouper, a piece around 400g at the belly, scaled and cut into big chunks, approx. 2.5 cm thick, rinse and pat dry

Marinade*:

• Black bean paste with minced garlic, 1 1/2 teaspoon 
• Hot chili bean paste with garlic, 1 teaspoon
• Mirin, 1 1/2 teaspoon
• Cornstarch, 1/2 teaspoon
• Ginger slices, several
• Raw sugar, pinch
• Sea salt, pinch
• Oil, drizzle

* The seasonings taste very differently among brands, please adjust the proportion to your liking.

Seasoning and garnish:

• Soy sauce, drizzle
• Spring onion and/or coriander

Method:

1. Marinade the fish chunks for 15 minutes.
2. Steam for 12 minutes. 
3. Drizzle with little soy sauce, serve immediately.
