📝 Preparation Steps
1
Place the fish head in a large bowl, add the vinegar, ginger juice, and 4½ cups water, and wash to remove any lingering blood or fish scent. Rinse thoroughly and drain. Rub the fish head with the salt and lightly dredge with the cornstarch. Place the fish head on a large heatproof plate, skin facing up.
2
Mix the garlic, ginger, scallions, both chiles, and 1 Tbsp. oil in a bowl and sprinkle over the dish. Place the dish in a collapsible pot or bamboo steamer over a pot of boiling water. Steam, covered, for ⏱️ 12 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through.
3
Heat the remaining 2 Tbsp. oil in a small saucepan and drizzle over the fish head. Season with extra salt and serve with rice.
