Cantonese Steam Codfish is one of those simple recipes that anyone can do at home which will produce a dish that would rival any restaurant. All you need is to know how to make that yummy soy sauce and a few tips on how to steam the fish properly to rid it of any potential fishy odour!
In this recipe, I used Kikkoman’s Special Fragrance Soy Sauce which is formulated right here in Singapore specially for Asian style cooking. The distinctive aroma of the sauce makes the dish irresistible. Although codfish is used for this recipe, the same technique will work for other fish such as seabass, halibut, threadfin, snapper, etc. It really is a recipe worth learning!

Gp A
Kikkoman Special Fragrance Soy Sauce 3 Tbsp

10. Top with green part of scallions and capsicum
Happy Cooking!
