1 tbs. Ginger (minced)
3 tbs. Oyster Sauce
3 tbs. Kikoman Soy Sauce
2-3 pcs. Onion Leaks(sliced into 5-6 parts)
1 cup Corn Oil

Procedures: (see video)
  1. Wash, drain & dry fish.
  2. Put 2 diagonal cuts on fish body (each side).
  3. Rub ginger on each side of the fish.
  4. Steam fish for about10-15 minutes or until fish is cooked. Do not remove ginger while steaming.
  5. On a heat resistant tray (Pyrex), spread out 1 ½ tbs. oyster sauce and 1 ½ tbs. Kikoman soy sauce.
  6. Arrange some leaks on top of the spread sauce.
  7. Lay steamed fish on the prepared tray.
  8. Spread out 1 ½ tbs.oyster sauce and 1 ½ tbs. Kikoman soy sauce on top of the steamed fish.
