Ingredients

Instructions

1. 1

   Pat the Ling Cod fillet dry with paper towels. Rub lightly with salt and white pepper. Place on a heatproof dish.

2. 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. 3

   Spoon the black bean mixture evenly over the fish fillet.

4. 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. 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.
