    Ingredients

    • 1 kg cod fillet (avoid the tail end) cut into 4 portions
    • 1 bn spring onions each trimmed and cut into three
    • 4 clv garlic sliced
    • 4 Tbsp. dark soy sauce
    • 4 tsp sesame oil
    • 4 Tbsp. rice wine (or possibly dry sherry)
    • 4 x star anise
    •     large piece ginger root (about 1 long nodule per person) peeled and sliced
    • 1/2 Tbsp. dry salted soy beans optional (from oriental stores)
    • 4 x heads bok choi or possibly other chinese greens washed and trimmed

    Directions

    1. Put each piece of fish in a snug fitting heatproof dish.
    2. Tuck the spring onions and garlic around then add in the soy sauce sesame oil rice wine (or possibly sherry) and half a Tbsp. of water and a star anise to each.
    3. Add in slices of ginger to the sauce and lay some on top of the cod then sprinkle with soy beans (if using).
    4. Put the dishes in a large steamer or possibly a fourtier stackable one (you could serve it in these) and steam for 6 min adding the bok choi to the steaming tray for the last min.
    5. Cod is well suited to steaming and can handle whiplash flavours such as ginger and soy in moderation. Here the perfectly poached flakes can be picked out with chopsticks and dipped into a dark pool of their own dipping sauce. And it's all cooked in a steamer and eaten from the same dish. Simply prepared simply cooked and simply eaten which's how to enjoy a good bit of fresh fish.
