Ingredients

• 4 pieces Sea bass fillets
• 2 tablespoons Fresh ginger
• 8 medium Shiitake mushrooms
• 3 stalks Green onions
• 3 tablespoons Light soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon Rice wine (optional)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the ginger by peeling and slicing it into thin matchsticks. Set aside.

Step 2

Clean the shiitake mushrooms and slice them into thin strips. Trim the roots from the green onions, then slice them into thin julienne strips, keeping the white and green portions separate.

Step 3

Season the sea bass fillets with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Step 4

In a heatproof plate or shallow steaming dish, arrange the seasoned sea bass fillets. Scatter half of the ginger and the white portion of the green onions on top of the fillets.

Step 5

Add the sliced shiitake mushrooms around and under the fillets.

Step 6

Drizzle the light soy sauce, sesame oil, and rice wine (if using) over the fish and mushrooms.

Step 7

Prepare a steamer by bringing 1 cup of water to a boil in the base of the steamer. Place the plate with the fish into the steaming basket, making sure it is level.

Step 8

Cover the steamer and steam over medium-high heat for 12–15 minutes, or until the sea bass is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 9

In a small skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it shimmers but does not smoke. Remove the fish from the steamer and drizzle the hot oil over the fillets to lightly cook the ginger and green onions.

Step 10

Garnish with the remaining green onion strips and serve hot with steamed white rice or as desired.
