Instructions

Step 1: Season 4 white fish fillets with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp white pepper on both sides. Place them on a heatproof plate suitable for steaming.
Step 2: Scatter 2-inch julienned fresh ginger evenly over the fillets, then top with 2 sliced scallions. Set up a steamer over boiling water and steam the fish for 8-10 minutes until the flesh turns opaque and flakes easily.
Step 3: While the fish steams, mix 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil, and 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a small bowl.
Step 4: After steaming, carefully remove the plate and pour the soy dressing evenly over the fish. Garnish with 1 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro and an additional sliced scallion for freshness. Serve immediately.
