Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. 1

    Place fish on a heatproof plate. Top with half the ginger.

  2. 2

    Steam over boiling water for 8-10 minutes until fish flakes easily.

  3. 3

    Drain any liquid from the plate. Top with remaining ginger and scallions.

  4. 4

    Heat 1 tbsp oil until smoking, pour over the fish (it will sizzle).

  5. 5

    Drizzle soy sauce and sesame oil. Serve with steamed bok choy.

*Pro Tips

  • 1

    The sizzling oil is essential — it cooks the aromatics and releases fragrance

  • 2

    Don't overcook — fish should be just opaque, not dry
