Steamed Sliver Cod in Teow Chew Bean Paste

This is the 2nd chinese dish I prepared :D.
Those of you who love fish like me would really love this timeless favorite :P
Its really really easy and all it takes from start till end is just 30mins !!! heres now you make a bad ass steam fish :P

300g - 500g Silver Cord or any fish you like :D
50g chopped old ginger
30g chopped shallots or small onions
10g Chopped Chilly padi ( yeah baby ! we talking spicy ! )
10g Garlic cloves chopped
50ml of Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Seasoning
1 table spoon or 2 table spoon of Teow Chew Bean Paste
1 table spoon of Light Soya Sauce
1 table spoon of oyster sauce
1/2 teaspoon of salt or to taste
1 table spoon of White wine
Sugar to taste
1 table spoon of cornstarch or tapioca flour

250ml of water

Heat up the water in a steamer pot or just a deep sauce pan with the stainless steel support grills in the middle. Once the steam starts to build up, place the fish on top of a bed of chop sticks suspended over a shallow plate. The reason is that I dont want the smelly juices that steam out of the fish to be bathing the steamed fish with it the whole time.

Now cover the whole thing up to steam for no more then 7mins tops. Now after that drain off the smelly juices collected under the suspended fish on the the chopsticks and set the fish aside on the serving plate.

Start by heating up a deep sauce pan with a little bit of olive oil, once its heated up drop in the garlic and the ginger and let it simmer up in medium low heat settings. Once the aroma is coming off add in all the other spices and the chillies. Now when it gives of the spicy aroma which could be just 20 secs of cooking add in the white wine and all the seasoning. Also at in like 1/2 cup of water or 200ml to 250ml. Now add more salt or sugar for taste.

Pour the whole paste thats piping hot over directly into the steamed fish and serve immediately :D Happy cooking and eating !!!
