Main dish
Cá Hấp Bia is Vietnamese fish that you steam in light beer with ginger, garlic and chili. The beer adds a malty note, and lime and fish sauce make the broth fresh and salty. The fish stays juicy.
Ingredients

- 250 ml light beer
- 2 scallions, cut into rings
- 1 piece ginger (about 5 cm), finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 1 red chili, seeded and finely chopped
- 1 lime, juiced
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp fish sauce
- 1 tsp sugar
- Fresh cilantro, for garnish
Instructions
- Wash the fish and pat it dry.
- In a large pan, bring the beer to a boil together with the ginger, garlic, chili and scallions.
- Reduce the heat and lay the fish in the pan. Season with the lime juice, soy sauce, fish sauce and sugar.
- Steam the fish with the lid on for 10 to 12 minutes, until completely cooked.
