Soya Bean Paste Fish


1. Rub salt and ginger juice onto fish(about 800g) especially the gut area.

2. Slice 2 medium-sized onions, 2 chillies and 3 slices ginger. Chopped 3 cloves garlic.

3. Heat 1 and a half tablespoon oil and saute onions, ginger, garlic and chillies.

4. Add 1 and a half tablespoon soya bean paste and saute for a while.

5. Add 400ml water or more and bring to boil, then put in the fish. Cover to cook the fish. Turn the fish over to cook the other side. This takes about 8 to 10 minutes depending on thickness of fish.

6. Add 2 tablespoon of chinese wine and a little sugar to taste, mix by swirling the pan. Dish up fish, garnish with spring onions and serve.


I used a 800g grouper and cut into 2 parts.

  1. The soya bean paste fish reminds me a lot of my grandma Busygran...but Nan would always pan fry the fish first before making the sauce and throw the fish back in. She says it will hold its shape better this way.

  5. My mum used to bring something quite similar to the summer dinner table for us. And I love some sweet potato congee with them. One of those best dinner in steaming hot tropical summer days!
