Method
 

  1. Place the fish fillet on a shallow plate suitable for steaming and drizzle with sesame oil, then sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  2. Peel and julienne the ginger, slice the onions, and cut the carrots into thin matchsticks; finely mince the garlic and optional shallots for the sauce.

  4. Arrange julienned ginger, onions, and carrots on top of the fish and cover loosely with aluminum foil; steam for 8-9 minutes.

Notes

Choose the freshest fish for best results; you can substitute with salmon for richer flavors or use tofu for a vegan option. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days, but avoid freezing the cooked dish to maintain texture. For an aromatic finish, drizzle hot oil over the dish before serving and garnish with fresh cilantro. Enjoy this healthy, flavorful meal that's quick to prepare!
