Directions

Step 1
Clean and scale fish thoroughly. Pat dry and make a few shallow diagonal slits on both sides. Stuff some ginger slices and green onion whites into the cavity.
Step 2
Place fish on a heatproof plate that fits into your steamer. Place more ginger and green onion whites on top of the fish.
Step 3
Bring water to a rolling boil in a large steamer or wok with a steaming rack. Carefully place the plate with the fish into the steamer.
Step 4
Steam for 8-12 minutes, depending on fish thickness, until fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 5
While fish steams, combine soy sauce, water/broth, sugar, and sesame oil for the sauce.
Step 6
Remove fish from steamer, discard cooked ginger and green onions. Pour off any excess liquid from the plate. Top with fresh green onion strips and cilantro.
Step 7
Heat cooking oil in a small saucepan until smoking hot. Carefully pour the hot oil over the green onions and cilantro on the fish (it will sizzle).
Step 8
Pour the prepared sauce around the fish. Serve immediately.
