Steamed fish is a super easy dish, but it’s especially important for Lunar New Year, Since in Chinese tradition, fish is intertwined with many sayings and symbols of good fortune, and it’s a must-have dish for holiday feasts and big celebrations. Today, I’ll be explaining how we typically make Steamed Fish at home.
The method of “steaming” should be the best way to keep the original flavor of the food. Cantonese-style steamed fish using only onion, ginger, garlic, soy sauce and peanut oil can better highlight the freshness and delicacy of the fish, and the method is also simple.

As long as you are willing to try it, do it~
