Steps

  • Sprinkle half the ginger and spring onion strips over the fish and place the rest inside the cavity.
  • Place the fish on a heatproof plate, pour rice wine over it, and place into a bamboo steamer.
  • Steam the fish over a pan of boiling water for 8 to 10 minutes until cooked through.
  • Turn off the heat and leave the sea bass to rest in the steamer.
  • Heat a wok until smoking and add the groundnut oil.
  • Stir-fry grated ginger for a few seconds, then stir in lime zest, beer, and soy sauce.
  • Add the spring onions and coriander once the liquid boils, then remove from heat.
  • Remove the fish from the steamer, pour the hot sauce over it, and serve with rice.
