“清蒸” (Qīngzhēng) is a traditional Chinese cooking method that translates to "steaming." This technique involves cooking food using steam, which helps retain the natural flavors, nutrients, and moisture of the ingredients. It is commonly used for fish, vegetables, and dumplings, allowing the food to cook evenly without the need for added fats or oils. The process of 清蒸 typically requires a steamer, which can be a bamboo steamer or a metal one. Ingredients are often seasoned lightly with soy sauce, ginger, or scallions to enhance their taste. This method is popular in Chinese cuisine, especially in dishes like 清蒸鱼 (Qīngzhēng yú), or steamed fish, which showcases the freshness of the seafood.
