Chinese New Year is upon us! Starting on the 14th, we are officially in the year of the tiger. (And you thought Valentine’s Day was the only holiday on Sunday!) If you’re in NYC, Miami or LA, you can head to the upscale Chinese restaurant Philippe, for some healthy eating out; the restaurant has added some new healthy options to the new “steamed menu:” the Dumpling Sampler, Steamed Chicken & Broccoli, Chilean Sea Bass with black bean & garlic sauce, Steamed Whole Fish with scallions and ginger, Live Maine Lobster with fresh ginger, scallions and cracked black pepper and Seasonal Vegetable platter with or without tofu. (And my mouth is watering…)
The New Steamed Menu
But just because you aren’t in the big city doesn’t mean you can’t try food from this celebrity hot spot yourself. I had to ask for the recipe for the sea bass, cuz this lady loves her some sea bass and it’s just not fair for only some of us to enjoy the amazing food chef Philippe Chow has to offer. So here’s the Chilean Sea Bass recipe . It’s pretty simple – just requires a steamer, which all of us who are interested in healthy eating and weight loss should own (rather than my fry daddy, sigh…). If you make it, lemme know how it goes!
Chilean Sea Bass (serves 4)
1 1/4 pound Chilean sea bass
2 tbsp Black bean sauce
2 tbsp Minced garlic in olive oil
2 tbsp Light soy sauce
Slice Chilean sea bass in 1/4 inch pieces and lay out on a plate that can fit in your steamer basket. Place black bean sauce on one side of fish and then garlic on the other. Steam for 10 mins or until cooked. Then put the soy on and serve.
