Comments
We prepared this recipe along with Food Hero's Microwave Steamed Fish recipe in a cooking class at our local food bank. The seasoning was so light and still full of flavor, a perfect compliment to the fish and rice. We used a mix of white fish fillets and Oregon bay shrimp and added steamed fresh produce (broccoli, cabbage, and carrots), all sourced from the food bank. Class participants were totally blown away by how good this was - I can't wait to try it as an easy weeknight meal with my sushi-loving kids!
