Place Fish in Steamer

Fish in bamboo steamer inside wok

D.Schmidt
Place fish in a shallow casserole or baking dish (see picture) that will fit inside your bamboo steamer or colander.

The dish should be small or narrow enough to allow some steam to rise from the bottom of the steamer or colander.

Place the steamer inside your wok OR over a large frying pan or pot if you don't have a wok.

Make sure there is 1-2 inches of water in the bottom of the wok, pan, or pot for steaming. You will also need a lid to cover the steamer or colander (a lid that is slightly "bubbled" is good, allowing more steam to circulate inside and around the fish).
