1.5 kg Lapu-lapu, cleaned
1/4 cup Knorr Liquid Seasoning
freshly ground pepper
3 tbsp sesame oil
1 pc onion, sliced thinly
1 stalk leek, sliced thinly
1/2 pc carrot, sliced into strips
1 cup water
1/4 cup light soy sauce
2 -3 tbsp sugar
slurry (cornstarch dissolved in water) to thicken, as needed
2 tbsp sesame oil
Optional: Serve with steamed or garlic sauteed spinach or bok-choi on the side

Begin by seasoning fish with Knorr Liquid Seasoning and pepper and then drizzle with sesame oil. Transfer the fish in a heatproof container and top it with onion, leeks, and carrots. Cook in a steamer until the fish is done. This will take about 8 to 10 minutes depending on the size of the fish. A one inch thick fish will cook for about 10 minutes.
Let’s now make the sauce to go with the fish. In a pot, combine water, light soy sauce and sugar. Just let this boil and thicken with a slurry. Off heat, drizzle with sesame oil.
Here’s a nice way of presenting your dish! Transfer the fish in a nice platter then pour the sauce over just before serving. Best served with steamed or garlic sautéed spinach or bok-choi on the side!
