Instructions
  1. First you need to prepare the sauce. Put the chopped garlic, 5 g of chopped ginger, part of the parsley and onion in the soy sauce. Leave to infuse.
  2. Pour 5 cm of water into the wok, place a steaming stand there and put it on the stove to boil.
  3. While the water is boiling, take out the cleaned and gutted fish. Fish can be absolutely any, both marine and freshwater. Today I have a little pink salmon. In the original recipe, the fish should have a head and tail, which symbolizes the successful beginning and ending of new cases. But I just didn’t fit in the wok, and I had to cut off my head and the tip of my tail. Rub the fish with salt. Place the lower white parts of the onion on a heatproof dish. We put fish on them. Put slices of ginger on the fish and pour two tablespoons of sesame oil.
  4. Put the fish dish in a steamer, where the water should already boil.
  5. Cover and cook for 7-15 minutes depending on the size of the fish.
  6. Drain the liquid from the dish. Remove the ginger slices and onion from under the fish. And pepper to taste. Sprinkle the remaining onion and parsley over the fish. Strain the sauce through a sieve and pour it over the fish. Do not pour the sauce on top. Heat the remaining sesame oil and pour it over the fish. Eat hot, dipping the fish in the sauce.
