Directions
1
Thinly slice some green onions.
2
Soak the green onions in ice water to make them curl up into beautiful ribbons.
3
Cut up a bunch of ginger into thin matchsticks.
4
Lay the ginger all over the fish (cod or any white fish).
5
Mix 1/4 cup of soy sauce with 1/2 teaspoon of sugar.
6
Carefully pour the sauce into the base of the fish.
7
Set up a steamer station by placing a wire steaming rack in a wok with boiling water at the bottom.
8
Add the plate of fish right on top of the steamer rack.
9
Cover and leave on medium heat for about 7 minutes or until the fish flakes.
10
While the fish is steaming, heat up 3 tablespoons of neutral oil (avocado oil is used here) and 2 tablespoons of sesame oil in a separate pan.
11
Check if the oil is ready by using a wooden chopstick; it should be bubbling.
12
Dry the green onions on a paper towel.
13
Scatter the dried green onions all over the fish.
14
Pour the hot oil all over the green onions and ginger on the fish.
15
Serve with white rice.
16
Spoon some of the sauce from the fish onto the rice.
