Cooking Steps
Step1:First, go to the market and buy a whole fresh tilapia. This dish is best served with fresh live fish. You can ask the fishman to help you clean your internal organs, fins and scales. Choosing fish weighing no more than 700g can control the fire more easily. I have to deal with the fish I bought home. Scrape the fish with a knife. Remove the remaining scales. In general, scales may remain around fins, belly and head. Check the inner cavity of the fish again. Use a blunt knife to scrape off the remaining blood or visceral film. Sometimes the gills and fins can't be cleaned. Cut them off with kitchen scissors. The fish market generally doesn't bother to deal with these details. But details determine success or failure.
Step2:Cut the belly and inner cavity of the fish from the tail to the head.
Step3:When you encounter bones that are not easy to cut, you can use a stronger professional chef's knife to cut them.
Step4:When cutting the inner cavity, be careful not to cut your hands. If you're new to the kitchen, it's most convenient to use kitchen scissors.
Step5:Don't cut the fish. Cut it to the head and turn it over. You can lay the whole fish on the cutting board.
Step6:Clean it quickly. Then lay it on the cutting board. Press the back of the fish gently to make it more flat.
Step7:Cut the top package along the edge of the tofu box. Pour out the water inside. Gently pour the tofu onto the cutting board. Carefully take the package away. Then cut the tofu into two halves lengthwise, and then cut into slices about 1 cm thick.
Step8:Scoop up the tofu with a knife. Put it on the plate like the picture below. The plate should be a little deeper to hold the soup produced by steaming the fish. Sprinkle the teaspoon salt evenly on the tofu.
Step9:Next, gently spread the fish on the tofu. Prepare to start steaming.
Step10:Pour 4 cups of cold water into the pot. Put a steaming stand. Put the fish on it. Cover the pot.
Step11:Turn the fire to medium. The water will boil in about seven minutes. Steam for another six minutes. That's 13 minutes. Check whether the water boils at the 7th minute. If you don't boil, you need to turn up the fire; if you boil very hard, turn down the fire. After 13 minutes, check whether the fish is cooked. Poke the bony part of the fish with a flat spoon. If it can easily penetrate the fish and touch the bones, it means it is cooked. If it feels a little hard or resistant, it means it's still raw. It's still neede

Cooking tips:Note - 1 teaspoon = 5g, 1 tablespoon = 15g1. If it's a frozen whole fish, its eyes should be clear, round and slightly protruding. You can also use the processed tilapia fillets sold in the supermarket. However, because the fillets have no fish bones, the steaming time should be reduced by 40%. 2. Control the time and temperature precisely. It is for the best meat quality of the fish. Do not be immature or too old. There are skills in making delicious dishes.
