| 1. 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. | 2. Set the chopsticks in the wok and add water to 1 inch below the level of the chopsticks. | 3. Place lid on wok and turn heat to high. | 4. Place the salmon, skin side down, on a glass pie plate or rimmed glass plate slightly smaller than the diameter of the wok. | 5. Cover with ginger slices. | 6. Pour rice wine and fish sauce over fish. | 7. 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. | 8. Replace the lid and cook 7 to 8 minutes, or until the salmon just turns opaque and begins to flake. | 9. Two to three minutes before the salmon is done steaming, heat the peanut oil in a small skillet over high heat. | 10. When the oil is very hot, add the garlic and cook until browned. | 11. 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. | 12. When the salmon is cooked, transfer to a warm plate. | 13. Place green onion strips on top of the fish and immediately pour hot oil over the fish and onions. | 14. Garnish with cilantro sprigs and serve immediately. | 15. Serves 2 as an entree, 4 as an appetizer. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
