Join me and let's see how to make Ginger Scallion Fish

Instructions:

    Step 1
  • Make three diagonal cuts on each side of the fish. This helps the fish cook more evenly and allows the flavors to penetrate.
  • Step 2
  • Place the fish on a heatproof plate that fits inside your steamer.
  • Step 3
  • Lay the ginger slices on top of the fish and tuck a few under the fish.
  • Step 4
  • Arrange the scallion sections on and around the fish.
  • Step 5
  • In a small bowl, mix the light soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, salt, and sugar. Drizzle this mixture evenly over the fish.
  • Step 6
  • Place the plate with the fish in a steamer over boiling water. Cover and steam for about 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through. The flesh should be opaque, and the fish should flake easily.
  • Step 7
  • In a small saucepan, heat the vegetable oil until it's almost smoking. Carefully pour the hot oil over the scallions and ginger on top of the fish.
  • Step 8
  • Heat the hot water until it's almost boiling, and then pour it over the fish to rinse away any excess oil.
  • Step 9
  • Garnish the steamed fish with fresh cilantro leaves.
  • Step 10
  • Serve hot with steamed rice and enjoy this simple yet delicious Chinese dish.
