3 SERVING

Ingredients:

1 large White pomfret
1½ tbsp Shaoxing wine
1 large Ginger, sliced
4 stalks Green onions, cut into 1/2 inch pieces.
1½ tbsp Supreme soy sauce
1 tbsp Julienne green onion
1 tbsp Red bell pepper, sliced
¼ tsp White pepper
¼ cup Cooking oil

Directions:

Step 1

Cut one side into a pattern like a willow leaf veins. Make two angled cuts on another side

Step 2

Put two bamboo skewers on the plate, and put the fish on the top, so the fish will be cooked evenly on both sides and done faster.

Step 3

Place ginger slices and green onion segments on top, then drizzle with Shaoxing cooking wine.

Step 4

Bring the steamer to a boil over high heat, then put in the fish and steam for 10-12 minutes.

Step 5

Remove the plate from the steamer, discard the ginger slices, green onion, and the liquid in the plate. Place the fish on a serving plate, pour the supreme soy sauce around the fish, and put the julienned green onion and red pepper on top, sprinkle with ground white pepper.

Step 6

In a small pot over medium heat, heat the oil, and pour it on the julienned green onion and red pepper.

Step 7

Note: Serve the fish immediately after steaming. The timing of steaming is critical.
