1 sea bass, trout or grey mullet, weighing about 675 g (l 1/2 lb), gutted
2.5 ml (1/2 tsp) salt
15 ml (1 tbsp) sesame oil
2 - 3 spring onions, cut in half lengthways
30 ml (2 tbsp) light soy sauce
30 ml (2 tbsp) Chinese rice wine or dry sherry
15 ml (1 tbsp) finely shredded fresh ginger
30 ml (2 tbsp) vegetable oil

2.5 ml (1/2 tsp) salt
15 ml (1 tbsp) sesame oil

30 ml (2 tbsp) Chinese rice wine or dry sherry
15 ml (1 tbsp) finely shredded fresh ginger

method
1. Using a sharp knife, score both sides of the fish as far down as the bone with diagonal cuts about 2.5cm (1 in) apart. Rub the fish all over, inside and out, with salt and sesame oil.
2. Sprinkle the spring onions over a heatproof platter and place the fish on top. Blend together the soy sauce and rice wine or dry sherry with the ginger shreds and pour evenly all over the fish.
3. Place the platter in a very hot steamer (or inside a wok on a rack) and steam vigorously, under cover, for 12 - 15 minutes.
4. Heat the vegetable oil until hot. Remove the platter from the steamer, place the shredded spring onions on top of the fish, then pour the hot oil along the whole length of the fish. Serve immediately.
