- 3⁄4 - 1 3/4-1 kg grouper or 3/4-1 kg sea bass
- 2 tablespoons shaoxing wine
- 1 1⁄2 tablespoons light soy sauce

- Cover with clingfilm and leave to marinade in the fridge for 10 minutes.
- Arrange the fish on a heatproof plate, with the marinade, and place in a steamer. Steam over simmering water in a covered wok for 5-8 minutes, or until the fish flakes when the skin is pressed firmly or the dorsal fin pulls out easily.

- Heat a wok over high heat, add the oil and heat until smoking.
- Sprinkle the steamed fish with the spring onion, shredded ginger and pepper, and slowly pour the hot oil over the fish.
