Hello, guys! Today, we are going Chinese cooking, although I put a little Filipino twist in it by adding a bit more of soy sauce and more cilantro and ginger. But really, you can't go wrong with this steamed fish recipe. I have tried tweaking the ingredients still it tasted really delicious.

I'D SAY JUST SEASON THIS WHOLE STEAMED FISH ACCORDING TO YOUR LIKING.

In the Philippines, we were blessed with different varieties of fish and I tell yah, they are very fresh. Although we had Tilapia, I had not seen Pink Tilapia before, so when I saw this Pink Tilapia  in Costco, I was really hesitant to try it because it can pass as a pet fish - but I tried it anyway.

As this is my first trying Pink Tilapia , I was having doubts with it; but after tasting this steamed fish, I actually liked it more than the dark ones. I like it, because it doesn't have a sandy texture.

What’s more special with this dish is that it doesn’t have that overpowering fishy smell and flavor - and the spices made it so. Talking about cilantro, ginger, green onions, sesame oil and soy sauce.

How do you make this Chinese Steamed Whole Fish Tilapia?

• This meal is really easy to make. I think the only consideration here is the steamer size you have available. Pink Tilapia tend to be large, so I have to use my large steamer to steam it.
• You have to prepare and saute’ the spices separately.
• The let the cooking oil simmer before pouring on top of the fish.
• You can use any fish that’s in season but my favorite is this Pink Tilapia.
