Steps:
- Cut the scallions into 2-inch lengths, and cut the pieces in half lengthwise. Julienne them thinly. Thinly slice about 15g of ginger, and julienne them. Give the cilantro a rough chop. Set the aromatics aside.
- Combine the light soy sauce, salt, sugar and hot water in a small bowl and mix until the sugar and salt are dissolved. Set aside.
- Prepare your steaming set-up, and fill with 1-2 inches of water. Bring to a boil.
- Rinse your fish fillet, and carefully lay it on an oblong heat-proof plate that will fit into your wok or steaming setup. Carefully place it in the steamer, and adjust the heat to medium. The water should be at a slow boil that generates a good amount of steam, but not so high that the water evaporates too quickly.
- Cover and steam for 7-10 minutes depending upon the size and thickness of your fish fillet. If you have extremely small, thin fillets (half an inch), cook for 4-5 minutes. Check for doneness using a butter knife. If it falls easily through the thickest part of the fillet to the bottom of the plate, the fish is done.
- Turn off the heat, and carefully drain any liquid on the plate. Spread about ⅓ of the scallions, ginger, and cilantro on the steamed fish (alternatively, you can wait to do this AFTER adding the sauce).
- To make the sauce, heat a wok or small saucepan to medium high heat, and add 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. Add the remaining ⅔ of the ginger, and fry for 1 minute. Add the white parts of the scallions and cook for 30 seconds.Then add rest of the scallions and cilantro. The mixture should be sizzling.
- Add the soy sauce mixture. Bring the mixture to a bubble, and cook until the scallions and cilantro are just wilted, about 30 seconds.
- Pour this mixture over the fish. If you prefer to add the raw aromatics after adding the sauce, you can do so now, and heat an additional 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to pour over the raw aromatics. Serve immediately!

Steps:
- To make the fish, pat the fish dry with kitchen towels and rub evenly with the salt, rubbing it inside the cavity as well if you are using a whole fish. Put the fish on a heatproof plate and squeeze the ginger over the top.
- Set up a steamer or put a rack into a wok or deep pan. Fill with 5cm/2in of water and bring to the boil over a high heat.
- Put the plate of fish in the steamer or on the rack, cover tightly and steam until it is just cooked. Flat fish fillets will take about 5 minutes; whole fish, or thick fillets, will take 12-14 minutes. The fish should turn opaque and flake slightly but still remain moist.
- Remove the plate and pour off any liquid that may have accumulated. Scatter the spring onions on the fish, then drizzle over the light and dark soy sauces.
- Heat the two oils together in a small saucepan until smoking, then immediately pour them over the fish.
- Meanwhile, to make the spicy noodles, bring a saucepan of water to the boil and cook the noodles for 3-5 minutes or according to packet instructions. Drain and then plunge the noodles in cold water. Drain thoroughly and toss them with 2 tablespoons of sesame oil. Arrange on a serving platter.
- Heat the sesame oil in a wok over a medium heat, and add the garlic and spring onions. Fry for 1 minute, then add the soy sauces, sesame paste, chilli paste, chilli oil and vinegar and mix well.
- Mix the ground peppers and sugar together in a bowl and add to the wok. Add the noodles and mix well to combine.
- Garnish the fish with the coriander and serve with the noodles on the side.

- 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.

Steps:
- Pat the fish fillets dry with kitchen paper if needed, and season. Put on a heatproof plate and scatter over the shredded ginger.
- Pour water into a wok or deep pan to a depth of 2.5-5cm (1-2in) and insert a steaming rack. If you don't have a steaming rack, use an upturned heatproof dish to make a trivet. Put the pan on a high heat and bring the water to the boil.
- Put the plate of fish on the steaming rack or heatproof dish. Cover with a lid and gently steam for 10-12 minutes, until the fish is opaque and flaky.
- Remove the fish from the wok and divide between 4 plates. Drizzle over the light and dark soy sauces and scatter over the spring onions.
- Heat the oil in a small pan until smoking hot and carefully pour over each piece of fish. It will sizzle a little. Scatter over the coriander and serve immediately.

STEAMED SALMON CANTONESE STYLE
When salmon is steamed with fresh ginger, fish sauce, and premium rice wine, it takes on a creamy texture that cannot be achieved with any other cooking method. As a final step, hot, garlic-flavored oil is poured over the salmon to sear in the juices. From the Wild Ginger Restaurant, Seattle WA.

Steps:
- To steam in a wok, cross two chopsticks in an X, then cut a groove in the lower chopstick so that the top one fits snugly.
- Set the chopsticks in the wok and add water to 1 inch below the level of the chopsticks.
- Place lid on wok and turn heat to high.
- Place the salmon, skin side down, on a glass pie plate or rimmed glass plate slightly smaller than the diameter of the wok.
- Cover with ginger slices.
- Pour rice wine and fish sauce over fish.
- When the water is boiling, remove the lid from the wok and position the plate containing the salmon and seasonings on top of the chopsticks.
- Replace the lid and cook 7 to 8 minutes, or until the salmon just turns opaque and begins to flake.
- Two to three minutes before the salmon is done steaming, heat the peanut oil in a small skillet over high heat.
- When the oil is very hot, add the garlic and cook until browned.
- Discard the garlic, but do not turn off the heat until you use the oil; it must be very hot to sear the fish properly.
- When the salmon is cooked, transfer to a warm plate.
- Place green onion strips on top of the fish and immediately pour hot oil over the fish and onions.
- Garnish with cilantro sprigs and serve immediately.
- Serves 2 as an entree, 4 as an appetizer.
