Sauce
1. Prepare the pot you plan to steam with and bring to a boil.
2. Prepare scallions by slicing into 2-inch pieces. Thinly slice ginger and chop up cilantro. Place 2/3 of ginger, cilantro and green parts of scallions one bowl. Place aside white parts of scallion and several pieces of ginger in another bowl.
3. In a small sauce bowl, mix together shaoxing wine, light soy sauce, sugar and hot water.
4. Season fish with sea salt and pepper. Place fish filets in your plate, add into steamer and cover to steam for 7-8 minutes. Check doneness with a knife. It should flake easily. Turn off heat and drain liquid.
5. Preheat a pan to medium heat with oil, then add ginger and white parts of scallion to cook. Add the soy sauce mixture until it bubbles, then pour over fish!
