~ingredients:
- sea bass
- 2 stalks scallion
- knob of ginger
- soy sauce
- neutral oil
- salt
~instructions:
- Wash the fish and pat dry. (Typically fish markets should gut and de-scale the fish for you)
- Salt the fish generously, we’ll rinse the salt later. Set aside for 20 minutes.
- Slice your knob of ginger into 2 slices and cut the remaining into thin strips. Cut scallion into thin strips or cut diagonally for presentation.
- Rinse the fish well after the 20 minutes and pat dry.
- Place your fish into a large dish and slip in the slices of ginger inside the body.
- Fill a wok with water and bring to a boil. Once the water is boiling, place the fish in the wok onto a steaming rack. Cover and lower the heat. Steam for 10 minutes.
- Note: Cooking time varies depending on the size of your fish. Eye turn white when done, and meat should be flaky with juices running clear.
- Remove the fish when done. Pour some soy sauce over the fish and top with scallion and ginger strips.
- Empty the wok and heat up about 2 tbsp of oil. It’s ready when it shimmers! Carefully pour the oil over the fish, this will intensify the flavor of the ginger and scallion.
- Serve with rice and enjoy! 🙂
