Ingredients

  • 2 x 6¼ oz skinless white fish fillets, about ½ in thick
  • 1 tsp cooking sake
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 pinch ground white pepper
  • 1/2 cup spring onion greens, finely sliced on the diagonal
  • 2 tbsp fresh ginger, finely julienned
  • 1 tbsp large red chilli, deseeded and finely julienned (optional)
  • 2 tsp light soy sauce
  • 2 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp peanut oil

Method

  1. Pat the fish dry, rub with the sake, salt and white pepper, and leave for 10 minutes.
  2. Place the fillets on a heatproof plate that fits inside a steamer, scatter over half the ginger, and steam over boiling water for 7-9 minutes until the fish just flakes.
  3. Carefully pour off the steaming liquid from the plate. Scatter the remaining ginger, the spring onions and the chilli over the fish and drizzle with the soy sauce and sesame oil.
  4. Heat the peanut oil in a small pan until shimmering and just smoking, then pour it slowly over the aromatics so they sizzle.
  5. Serve immediately with steamed rice and greens.
