This is one of my favorite fish dishes. I learned this recipe from my Tita Mila Chua. This recipe looks extravagant but it’s actually easy to prepare and cook.
Ingredients:
1 pc. 700g Lapu-lapu fish (remove scales and fins)
1 tbs. Ginger (minced)
3 tbs. Oyster Sauce
3 tbs. Kikoman Soy Sauce
2-3 pcs. Onion Leaks(sliced into 5-6 parts)
1 cup Corn Oil
Procedures: (see video)
- Wash, drain & dry fish.
- Put 2 diagonal cuts on fish body (each side).
- Rub ginger on each side of the fish.
- Steam fish for about10-15 minutes or until fish is cooked. Do not remove ginger while steaming.
- On a heat resistant tray (Pyrex), spread out 1 ½ tbs. oyster sauce and 1 ½ tbs. Kikoman soy sauce.
- Arrange some leaks on top of the spread sauce.
- Lay steamed fish on the prepared tray.
- Spread out 1 ½ tbs.oyster sauce and 1 ½ tbs. Kikoman soy sauce on top of the steamed fish.
- Arrange some leaks on top of the fish.
- In a sauce pan, heat corn oil until almost boiling point.

Makes 3-4 servings.
Tip: Do not over steam fish and do not use other cooking oil as substitute for corn oil.
