Steam and dress(18 min)

Score fish on both sides. Place on a plate with ginger slices underneath. Drizzle with wine. Steam over high heat 10-12 min until flesh flakes easily. Discard steaming liquid. Top with fresh julienned ginger and scallions. Heat soy + 2 tbsp oil till smoking, pour over the fish — the aromatics will sizzle and perfume.

The steaming liquid from fish can taste muddy — always discard it before adding fresh seasonings.
