If you have all the ingredients, this healthy Asian-style meal can be prepared in less than 10 minutes. The fish is tender, juicy, and flavorful. It’s cooked with ginger, garlic, and chili pepper, garnished with chives and cilantro. Served with crispy cabbage and white rice, it’s a great Asian meal.

Ingredients

2 thickly sliced bluefish or other similar white-fleshed fish
1 thumb-sized piece of peeled ginger
4 tablespoons peanut oil
1 teaspoon sesame oil
2 cloves garlic
1 chili pepper (slightly spicy)
½ cup dry sherry or rice wine
4 tablespoons sweet soy sauce (or light soy sauce with 1 teaspoon sugar)
1 lime
4 small bok choy noodles, quartered
2 chives, finely minced
A few fresh cilantro leaves

Instructions

Step 1 Preheat your steamer of choice.
Step 2 Peel the ginger and cut it into thin strips (or slices).
Step 3 Peel the skin off the fish and brush both sides with peanut oil using a pastry brush or similar tool. Sprinkle a little salt on both sides. Place in a preheated steamer and sprinkle the top of the fish with ginger slices. Cover and simmer for about 7 minutes.
Step 4 While the fish is steaming, heat a frying pan over medium heat, add the sesame oil, peanut oil, minced garlic and chili pepper and cook for 2 minutes until fragrant. Then add the sherry, zest and juice of one lime. Add the sweet sauce and simmer for 2-3 minutes.

Step 5 Wash the bok choy and cut it into quarters. Add the bok choy two minutes before it is fully cooked (after 5 minutes). Remove the fish from the steamer, add the bok choy, drizzle with the sauce, and sprinkle with chopped green onions and cilantro.
Step 6 Enjoy hot with white rice.

The Coolest New Supercars of 2025

The Coolest New Supercars of 2025

The term “supercar” never fails to ignite excitement—for me and countless enthusiasts alike. Since the 1966 Lamborghini Miura unofficially pioneered the segment, exotic cars have delivered mind-blowing power, precision handling, and head-turning style to those who can afford them (and I’m still holding out hope to join that club someday). What’s even more thrilling is that automakers—both established and new—continue to outdo each other with fresh releases, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with four wheels and a powertrain. In recent years, models like the McLaren Artura, Rimac Nevera, and Maserati MC20 have redefined the genre, and 2025 promises to be no less extraordinary. After sifting through numerous upcoming releases, I’ve narrowed down the coolest supercars confirmed or expected to hit the scene this year—each one a testament to automotive innovation and performance.
