Steamed fish with ginger and onions

Steamed fish with ginger and scallions is a traditional dish with its roots in Asian cuisine, particularly in Chinese cooking, where the steaming technique highlights the natural flavor of fresh ingredients. In Latin America, this dish has been adapted and popularized thanks to the influence of various cultures, and it is commonly known as "steamed fish" or simply "fish with ginger" in countries like Mexico, Colombia, and Peru. In some regions, it is also called "oriental-style fish."

The combination of ingredients like fresh ginger, scallions, and sherry wine provides an intense and delicate aroma, while the steaming cooking method preserves the fish's soft and juicy texture. This dish is not only appreciated for its taste but also because it is a healthy and light option, ideal for those seeking a balanced diet without sacrificing the pleasure of eating.
