Ingredients

• 450 grams white fish fillets (such as cod or tilapia)
• 2 inches fresh ginger
• 4 stalks scallions
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
• 1 small red chili (optional)
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon white pepper

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the fish fillets under cold running water and pat dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and white pepper.

Step 2

Peel the fresh ginger and slice it into thin matchsticks. Cut the scallions into 3-inch lengths and then slice them lengthwise into thin strips.

Step 3

If using, finely slice the red chili and reserve. Roughly chop the fresh cilantro and set aside.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil to create the sauce mixture.

Step 5

Arrange the fish fillets in a shallow, heatproof dish that fits inside your steamer or pot. Scatter the ginger matchsticks and half of the scallions evenly over the fish.

Step 6

Bring water to a boil in your steamer or pot, then place the dish with the fish into the steamer. Cover and steam over high heat for 10-12 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 7

Once the fish is cooked, carefully remove the dish from the steamer. Drizzle the soy sauce mixture evenly over the hot fish.

Step 8

Garnish with the remaining scallions, sliced chili, and cilantro before serving.

Step 9

Serve the steamed fish immediately with steamed rice or your choice of stir-fried vegetables for a complete meal.
