Excellent dish VERY easy and VERY tasty! Thanks Charsiew! Reminded me of my childhood fish dishes and my husband and family (who are not Chinese) absolutely loved it too. One note: make sure you cook this in a dish that can catch all the delicious sauce (i.e. not a steamer with holes). Read More

It does not say this in the recipe but make sure that you put the sauce over the veggies because otherwise the tomatoes and mushrooms are totally tasteless. The fish turned out and was good but it was not spectacular. Then again my husband and I have had lots of amazing authentic Chinese fish dishes so we are probably too spoiled.:) Read More

Great base recipe! I substituted things for what I had on hand (ground ginger instead of fresh crimini mushrooms and 1/2 tsp. of fresh chili paste instead of the diced red chili). I also used more like 2Tbs of soy sauce istead of 1 and threw in juice of 1/2 lime. Huge hit! I chopped mushrooms and spread them out in a 9x13 pan with cauliflower florets (just to add more veggies) and lay the snapper over the top of them. Topped seasoned fish with diced tomato and poured soy/sesame oil/lime juice/chili paste mixture over the top. 400 for 15 minutes. Sprinkled with the cilantro after. Delicious! Best white fish recipe!

This is wonderful!! My family does not care for fish and they actually had seconds. I do not have a steamer so I put it in a covered glass dish and microwaved it till it was done. We loved the ginger flavor. Read More

Another healthful Chinese dish. I liked the liquids imparted from cooking of the tomatoes fish and soy sauce. It was a good way to mix it up with rice. The mushrooms were the best part providing great texture and an earthy taste. A versatile recipe to use with other types of fish. Read More
