Special Diets:
Ingredients
- 3 stalks lemongrass
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 teaspoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 3/4 pound barramundi fillet, cut into 4 pieces
- 6 ounces shiitake mushrooms, stemmed, caps thinly sliced
- 4 green onions, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and cut into thin matchsticks
- 1 shallot, halved and thinly sliced
- 2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds
Method
Peel back tough green husks from 1 stalk lemongrass.
Finely grate enough of the tender core to equal 1/2 teaspoon; place in a small bowl.
Whisk in vinegar, soy sauce and water. Set aside.
Chop all remaining lemongrass (including husks) into 2-inch pieces and place in the bottom of a steaming pot.
Add enough water to come just below the bottom of the steaming rack; place over high heat and bring to a boil.
Lower heat and simmer, covered, 5 minutes.
Uncover pot, place barramundi on rack and sprinkle with mushrooms, green onions, ginger and shallot.
Cover and steam just until fish is opaque and flakes when tested with a fork, 6 to 7 minutes.
Transfer fish and vegetables to plates.
Drizzle with vinegar mixture and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
