Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of chili bean paste, 1 tablespoon of light soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of dark soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of Shaoxing wine, and 1 tablespoon of Chinese black vinegar. Add 1 teaspoon of sugar and 2 tablespoons of water. Whisk everything together until smooth, then set the sauce aside.
- Rinse the whole fish under cold water and pat it dry. Sprinkle salt inside and outside, then pour 2 tablespoons of Shaoxing wine over it and let marinate for 15 minutes.
- Place the marinated fish on a steamer plate. Fill a pot with water and bring it to a rolling boil. Steam the fish for about 8-12 minutes until opaque.
- In a non-stick pan, heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic, grated ginger, and chopped green onions. Sauté until fragrant.
- Pour the sauce into the pan with the sautéed aromatics. Simmer for about 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens, stirring occasionally.
- Transfer the steamed fish to a serving platter and pour the sauce over it. Garnish with additional sliced green onions and serve with jasmine rice.
