Instructions
1
Prep
Rub 2 fish fillets (360g) with 0.5 tsp salt. Slice 30g ginger into two portions: half into thin rounds, half julienned. Cut 4 spring onion stalks in half: one portion into 5cm lengths, one julienned. Finely slice 1 small red chilli. Mix 4 tbsp light soy sauce with 1 tsp sugar.
2
Steam
Arrange ginger rounds and spring onion lengths on a heatproof plate. Place salted fish fillets on top, scatter remaining ginger and spring onion over them. Steam over vigorously boiling water on high heat 8 to 10 minutes until flesh is opaque and flakes easily at the thickest point.
3
Finish
Remove plate from steamer and drain any accumulated liquid. Pour soy-sugar mixture over the fish. Pile julienned ginger, spring onion, and chilli on top. Heat 4 tbsp neutral oil in a small pan over high heat until smoking, then pour sizzling oil directly over the aromatics.
4
Plate
Transfer the fish to serving plates immediately, spooning all aromatics and hot oil over. Serve right away while the oil sizzles.
