Steamed fish slices

Steamed fish is a very comforting dish especially when I have been sick for the past few days. I usually will steam the whole slab of fish but this time I decided to cut the fish into slices before steaming. This will shorten the steaming time and save some time.



Ingredients
1 pax portion of fish fillet (I used red grouper)
1 stalk of spring onions
1 knob of ginger
Some wolfberries
Soy sauce
Water
Sugar
White pepper

Marinate
2 tsp Chinese cooking wine
2 tsp Soy sauce
Cornstarch

Recipe
1. Marinate the fish slices using the marinate ingredients stated above.
2. Soak the wolfberries to soften. Cut the ginger into stripes.
3. Smash the white part of spring onions and cut them into parts. Cut the green part of spring onions diagonally into strips.
4. Place ginger strips and white parts of spring onions on the steaming dish.
5. Arrange the fish slices on top and add some more ginger strips.
6. Sprinkle the wolfberries and green strips of spring onions on top of the fish slices. Add a dash of white pepper on the fish slices.
7. In a separate bowl prepare the solution of soy sauce and water. Add a little sugar and mix well. Adjust the taste to your liking.
8. Pour the soy sauce solution into the steaming dish and steam it for 5-6 minutes.
