Steamed Fish

We have cooked this a couple of times before, once with tuna and once with sea bass and tonight we tried it with cod (Icelandic of course, so as not to make the poor fishies extinct). We marinated the fish in oyster sauce, soy sauce, garlic and black pepper. Then topped it with sliced onion and ginger and steamed it, adding pak choi half way through the steaming.

That all sounds rather good, and it gave really tasty results previously. Something went wrong this time though and it didn’t work out that well. The fish was overcooked and didn’t taste of much. Perhaps it was the all-important green peppercorns that we’d omitted this time. Or we just screwed it up. And we overcooked the noodles too, which made them rather sticky. I doused most of it with loads of soy sauce to give it some flavour.
