Steamed Fish Fillets With Ginger and Scallions

4 servings

Kylie Kwong's technique of first steaming the fillets awhile, then adding the cabbage leaf sections to the same steamer basket keeps the cooking fuss-free. Adapted from her "Simple Chinese Cooking" (Viking Studio, 2007).

2 tablespoons light soy sauce

1/4 teaspoon sesame oil

1/3 cup water

2 tablespoons shao hsing wine or dry sherry

Four 3 1/2 -ounce firm white-fleshed fish fillets, such as King George whiting, cod, barramundi or mahi-mahi

2-inch piece peeled ginger root, cut into julienne (very thin strips)

1 Chinese cabbage leaf

1/2 teaspoon sugar

1/2 cup scallions, white and tender green parts only, cut lengthwise into very thin strips
