How to cook it
-
Lay the fish fillets in a heatproof dish and scatter half the ginger over the top.
-
Set the dish in a steamer over boiling water, cover, and steam until the fish is just cooked through and flakes easily, about 12 minutes.
-
While the fish steams, cut the scallions into fine shreds.
-
Heat the oil in a small pan until it just starts to smoke.
-
Pour off any liquid that has collected around the fish, then drizzle the soy sauce over it and scatter with the remaining ginger, the scallions, and cilantro.
-
Pour the hot oil over the scallions and ginger so they sizzle and release their fragrance.
-
Serve immediately, with rice served alongside.
