Nutrition (per serving)

Ingredients

• 500g Ling Cod fillet
• 2 tbsp fermented black beans, rinsed and roughly chopped
• 20g ginger, julienned
• 2 stalks spring onions, julienned (for garnish)
• 1 tbsp light soy sauce
• 1 tsp Shaoxing wine
• 0.5 tsp sugar
• Pinch of white pepper
• 1 tsp cornstarch
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil

Steps

1. Pat the Ling Cod fillet dry with paper towels. Rub lightly with salt and white pepper. Place on a heatproof dish.
2. In a small bowl, combine the rinsed black beans, some of the julienned ginger, light soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, sugar, and cornstarch. Mix well.
3. Spoon the black bean mixture evenly over the fish fillet.
4. Bring water to a boil in a steamer. Once boiling, place the dish with the fish into the steamer. Steam for 8-10 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
5. Once steamed, carefully remove the dish. Garnish with the remaining julienned ginger and spring onions. Heat vegetable oil in a small pan until smoking hot, then carefully pour it over the ginger and scallions to sizzle and release their aroma. Serve immediately.
