Baked Fish With Black Bean Sauce Recipes

CHINESE DEEP-FRIED FISH WITH SPICY BLACK BEAN SAUCE

Steps:

• Remove the head from the fish (or have your fishmonger do this) and cut the fish into 2-inch thick steaks. Put the rice flour on a plate and season it well with salt and pepper; dredge the fish pieces in the rice flour, shaking off any excess.
• In a deep pot or a wok large enough to hold the fish, heat the vegetable oil to 350 degrees F. Carefully put in the fish and deep-fry until it is browned, crisp, and cooked through, about 12 to 15 minutes. Remove the fish pieces and drain them on paper towels; place them onto a platter.
• Carefully drain all but 3 tablespoons of oil from the wok. Stir-fry the scallions, ginger, garlic, and chiles for about 2 minutes. Add the black beans and fry for another minute. Pour in the chicken stock, bring to a boil, and simmer until the sauce begins to thicken, about 10 minutes. In a small bowl mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons water making sure to get out all the lumps. Pour this slurry into the black bean mixture (it will thicken immediately) and cook for another 2 minutes. Pour the sauce over the fish pieces, garnish with cilantro leaves, and serve.

STEAMED FISH WITH BLACK BEAN SAUCE (STEAMED VERSION)

Steps:

• To prepare the steamer, bring a large pot of water to a boil.
• Rinse fermented black beans with tap water, drain, and transfer to a bowl. Use the back of a spoon to smash the beans. Add garlic, Shaoxing wine, light soy sauce, and sugar. Mix well. Or you can skip this step by using pre-made black bean sauce.
• Choose a plate that is big enough to hold all the fish fillets, can fit in your steamer, and has a bit depth so the juice from steaming won't spill to the pot. Spread the tofu in the center, and spread green beans around the tofu without too much overlapping. Lightly sprinkle salt over the green beans and the tofu. Arrange the fish fillets on top of the tofu. Spread the black bean sauce evenly over the fish. Place the plate into the steamer with boiling water. Steam covered for 8 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through.
• Carefully transfer the plate onto the kitchen counter with your oven mitts on. If the plate is difficult to lift from the steamer, leave it there. Spread the ginger and and green onions onto the fish.
• Heat vegetable oil in a small saucepan until it just starts to smoke. Immediately pour the oil onto the fish fillets to cook the green onions and ginger. You should hear a vibrant sizzle.
• Transfer the fish, tofu, and green beans to serving plate, pour the remaining juice over.

BAKED FISH WITH BLACK BEAN SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 370ºF (180 ºC). Rinse fish fillets and pat dry. Place fish fillets in a baking pan (not metal). Sprinkle both sides of the fish fillets with Chinese 5 Spice Powder. Spoon black bean sauce over each fillet to cover them completely with sauce. Cover the baking pan with aluminum foil and seal tightly. Bake in the middle of the oven for about 20 minutes*. *I cook it at 180 ºC in a convection oven in the UK - but I find it cooks very warm. I suggest you check the fish before taking it out of the pan to see if it is cooked. You may have to cook it longer. Baking times may also vary depending on the thickness of the fish.
