- If using a whole fish, put half the ginger-scallion julienne and cilantro into the fish cavity and put the rest on top.
- If using fillets, put half of the mixture on the bottom of the plate, cover with fillets in single layer and then top the fillets with the rest.
- Sprinkle with the soy sauce, sesame oil and rice wine vinegar.
- Allow to marinate at room temperature, covered, for 20 to 30 minutes.
- Pour an inch or two of water into the bottom of a steamer.
- When water starts to boil, put in the plate of fish.
- Cover and steam over high heat until done, about 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish.
- Serve fish with the sauce that has accumulated in the plate.
