Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use frozen fish?

Yes, but thaw it completely and pat it dry with a paper towel before steaming to ensure even cooking.

What if I don't have a steamer basket?

You can use a wok or deep skillet with a lid. Place a small metal rack or heat-proof bowl upside down to hold the plate above the water.

Is this dish gluten-free?

Use tamari instead of standard soy sauce to keep this recipe entirely gluten-free.
