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.
