Stupidly, I forgot to note where I found this recipe when I typed it into the computer. However, the sauce is simply *marvelous*; not as gingery as the title would suggest, rather a lovely balance of ingredients. Living in Maine, our "go to" fish, in terms of freshness, is always haddock, but as the recipe notes, any thin white fish will do; freshness is everything!

Ingredients

4 serv.
  • tilapia fillets (or any thin white fish)1 1⁄2 lbs
  • black pepper, freshly ground1⁄8 teaspoon
  • bok choy, washed, trimmed, and cut into 1-inch pieces1 bunch
  • scallions, thinly sliced3 slices
  • cilantro, chopped4 1⁄2 teaspoons
  • fresh ginger, grated4 1⁄2 teaspoons
  • reduced sodium soy sauce1⁄4 cup
  • canola oil (or peanut oil)1⁄4 cup

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 1

    Combine scallions, cilantro, ginger, and soy sauce for dipping sauce. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Season tilapia fillets with pepper. Put a steamer rack in a large skillet and fill with water to just below rack. Bring water to a boil and place fillets and bok choy on steamer rack. Steam for about 8 minutes or until tilapia is opaque and flakes with a fork and bok choy is crisp-tender. Depending on the size of your steamer, you may need to do this in two batches.

  3. 3

    When fish is ready, put oil into a small saucepan and heat over high heat until smoking, about 2 minutes. Very carefully, add oil to dipping sauce; mixture will sizzle actively for a few seconds, so be careful of hot spatter.

  4. 4

    Divide fish and bok choy among four bowls and pour sauce on top to serve.
