This Chinese steamed fish is my father's recipe and the one he taught me how to make. It's easy to prepare, hard to mess up, and very versatile. Halibut, sea bass, or any firm-fleshed white fish will work for this recipe. Serve over rice, using some of the sauce mixture from the steaming bowl.
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds sea bass or halibut , cut into 4 pieces
- 3 greens onions , cut into 3 inch lengths
- 2 freshs mushrooms , sliced
- 6 leaves napa cabbage , sliced into 4-inch pieces
- 2 slices fresh ginger root , finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic , chopped
- 0.25 cups low-sodium soy sauce
- 0.13 cups water
- crushed red pepper flakes to taste
- fresh cilantro sprigs , for garnish
Instructions

1
Arrange 1/2 of the green onions on the bottom of the steaming bowl (it is important to steam in a container in order to retain the steam and juices around the fish). Place 1/2 of the mushrooms and Napa cabbage sections on top of onions. Place fish on top of vegetables. Sprinkle ginger, garlic, and red pepper flakes over fish. Top with remaining green onions, mushrooms, and napa cabbage. Drizzle soy sauce and water over everything.

Great marinated salad recipe. Perfect for a barbecue, picnic, or potluck. This is one of my long-time favorites.

Homemade bagels have never been easier. With this "magic" two-ingredient dough, you can have fresh and fluffy bagels, hot out of the oven, in as much time as it takes to make a batch of pancakes.

Taylor's Piroshki
These pirozhki have a beef, onion, and dill filling and are delicious. You could also add a little cheese to the filling if you like. They can also be baked. I received this recipe from my Russian language teacher in high school and have been making them ever since. The kids like them too! They take a little time to roll out — but then doesn't anything authentic take a little time?
