    Utensils Used
    | 1. Clean and scale the fish and remove the insides, however, leave the head and tail on. | 2. Rinse under cold water and then pat dry. | 3. Place the fish in an oblong oven proof/microwave proof dish and add a little rice wine to both sides. | 4. After 5 minutes, remove the wine. | 5. Place two whole scallions under the fish to prop the fish up, which will allow steam to flow underneath. | 6. STEAMING THE FISH: Place water in a large wok and using a flat round trivet on top of the wok, bring water to a boil. | 7. Place the fish plate on the trivet and cover. | 8. Steam the fish for about 10-15 minutes, use a fork to poke the flesh of the fish to see that it is done (It should be white and not translucent, don't overcook). | 9. Remove the fish plate from the wok, pour off the cloudy liquid, discard the scallions and then place the plate in the kitchen sink. | 10. (Why? Cause when you pour hot oil over the fish, it will splatter all over). | 11. As an alternative for steaming, put plastic wrap over the fish plate and then into the microwave oven. | 12. Microwave on high for about 5-6 minutes; check for doneness as noted above, and pour off the cloudy liquid and discard the scallions. | 13. Sprinkle the fish with pepper& salt. | 14. Spread over the fish the scallions and ginger strips. | 15. In a small frying pan add the peanut& sesame oil and heat just to smoking. | 16. Then pour smoking oil over the fish, be careful with the oil splattering. | 17. Next add the soya sauce. | 18. Serve hot with white rice and chinese vegetables toped with oyster sauce! | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
