02Steps
- Score the fish diagonally on both sides. Pat the fish dry with paper towels.
- In a small bowl, mix light soy sauce, sugar, and white pepper. Set aside.
- Place ginger and some scallion sections on a heatproof plate. Lay the fish on top, then scatter the remaining ginger, scallions, chopped pickled plums, and sliced tomatoes over the fish.
- Heat a steamer with water over high heat until boiling. Place the plate of fish into the steamer.
- Steam for 10-12 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through. (Cooking time depends on the thickness of the fish).
- Once the fish is cooked, carefully remove it from the steamer. Drain any excess liquid from the plate. Pour the prepared sauce mixture over the fish.
- Heat cooking oil in a small pan until smoking hot. Carefully pour the hot oil over the fish, especially over the scallions and ginger, to release their aroma.
- Serve immediately.
