📝 Preparation Steps
1
Wash the fish gently and pat dry with a paper towel.
2
Mince garlic cloves and add on top of the fish. You may add sliced ginger to the fish if you like (optional).
3
Slice green onions and ginger finely. Set aside.
4
Add some water to the pan and place on high heat. Prepare your steaming rack. When the water is boiling, add your plate of fish. Steam for ⏱️ 4 minutes. The time varies due to the thickness of the fish. If its a thinner cut, go for roughly ⏱️ 3 minutes. If its thicker like mine, ⏱️ 5 minutes is good! Anything more than ⏱️ 7 minutes will make your fish overcooked and dry. Note: if you are using a whole fish or larger fish than 1 pound, please adjust cooking time.
5
While its steaming, heat oil in pan or pot until you see a little bit of smoke (should take ⏱️ 2-4 minutes).
6
Once the fish is ready, pour out the water or place the fish on a new plate. Add green onions and ginger on top. Then, pour the hot oil on the green onions and ginger. You will see them wilt.
7
Finally, add seafood soy sauce (or any light soy sauce you have at home) around the edges of the fish. Pouring the soy sauce on top will make the fish turn dark in color. Hope you enjoy!
