Cantonese Steamed Fish

Ingredients - Serves 4

• Cilantro leaves - For garnish
• White pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Sugar - 1 teaspoon
• Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
• Soy sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Green onions - 2, thinly sliced
• Fresh ginger - 1 large piece, peeled and thinly sliced
• Whole white fish - 1 (about 1.5 pounds)

Let's Get Started

1. Clean the fish and pat dry. Make diagonal cuts on both sides of the fish.
2. Place the fish on a plate and stuff the ginger slices into the cuts and inside the fish.
3. Prepare a steamer and bring the water to a boil. Place the plate with the fish in the steamer and cover. Steam for about 10-15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through.
4. While the fish is steaming, combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, and white pepper in a small bowl.
5. When the fish is done, carefully remove the plate from the steamer. Pour off any excess liquid on the plate.
6. Pour the soy sauce mixture over the fish. Top with the sliced green onions.
7. Heat a small amount of oil in a pan until smoking. Carefully pour the hot oil over the green onions to 'cook' them.
8. Garnish with cilantro leaves and serve immediately.
