Here is the full recipe for this dish:
STEAMED SOY-SAUCE RAINBOW TROUT (FAMILY RECIPE)
Preparation+Cooking time: 32 minutes
Ingredients:
-- 2-3 Trout, 1/2 to 3/4 lbs each. Whole fish.
-- 6 pieces of garlic, each chopped in half.
-- 6 pieces of scallion, 2 inches each.
-- 6 pieces of scallion, 2 inches each. Chopped.
-- Half ginger head. Long cut.
-- 6 Teaspoons of Vegetable Oil (any oil will work. Olive oil is preferred)
-- 4 Teaspoons of Seasoning Sauce (i.e. Golden Mountain, but any seasoned soy-sauce will work)
-- 4 Teaspoons of Zhen Jiang vinegar (any vinegar will work, though)
-- 3 Teaspoons of sugar
-- 1 Teaspoon of salt
-- 3 Teacups of water (or until the fish is 3/4 covered in pan)
PREPARATION:
-- Clean the Trout. Make sure to take all of its guts out, including the dark stripe of blood in its belly. Use paper towel to remove excess moisture. If the Trout were frozen, make sure to defrost until the fish is at room temperature.
-- Cut each garlic in two pieces for more flavor. Cut 12 pieces of long scallion, 2 inches each. Chop 6 of them in smaller pieces, as seen in the video. Peel half of a ginger head and cut it into thin horizontal stripes.
The preparation process should take you about 15 minutes.
COOKING:
(1) Set up your heat on max and warm up your pan. Once the pan is warm, add the oil and let it heat. Make sure to distribute the oil evenly, so that the fish doesn't stick on the pan later.
(2) Once the oil starts heating up, add the cut garlic and sugar. Make sure to spread the sugar all around the pan. Once the oil starts working on the garlic, add the long scallion and the cut ginger. Let it fry for a couple seconds.
(3) Your pan is now ready for the fish! Add your Trout on top of your oily mix, carefully placing it away from you (so that the oil doesn't splash on you). Shake the pan for a little bit, so that the oil mix gets around and inside your fish's belly. Once the fish is in, make sure to not touch it too much! For a better final presentation, you want your fish to be as intact as possible.
(4) At this point, add the seasoning sauce (a.k.a. seasoned soy-sauce) and the vinegar. Spread the salt on top of the fish. Add the water until it covers 3/4 of your fish. Make sure to look at your clock at this step, since you will be cooking this fish for 15 minutes!!!
(5) Wait until the water boils. Once the water boils, set your fire on medium. Cook it for the remaining of the 15 minutes and turn the fire off.
(6) Add your chopped scallion on top of the fish. Mix it together with your concentrated sauce. Your fish is ready to be served! Bon Appétit!
The cooking process should take you about 17 minutes.
EXTRA NOTES:
-- This recipe works for different types of fish. It goes well with Crappie, Sunfish, Perch, and even Carp.
--If the fish that you are using is in the range of 1lb or above, make sure to cook it thoroughly! Instead of 15 minutes, cook it for 20-25 minutes or so.

Spicy Trout in Grilled Fish Sauce with Fried Rice
I used Trout for this dish and tried out a very flavorful grilled fish sauce from my local Asian Market. The fried rice was not part of today's recipe, but I do have a recipe on my channel for the dish. Hope you enjoy!
