Five-Flavor Steamed Fish for Balance With Chef Martin Yan

How can five flavors come together in one simple dish? Chef Martin Yan, M.S., brings his signature warmth and practical style to a fresh look at steamed fish, showing how Eastern and Western influences can work in harmony. Best known for Yan Can Cook and Martin Yan’s Healthy Kitchen, Yan explains why steamed fish is a longtime favorite in Chinese home cooking and restaurants, then adds his own twist with ingredients like ginger, green onion, mushrooms, black beans, sesame oil, and goji berries. Along the way, he emphasizes healthy cooking with less oil, less salt, and plenty of flavor. The result is an approachable lesson in balance, creativity, and making nourishing food feel both simple and joyful.
