Chinese Steamed Sea Bass - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 pound whole sea bass - cleaned, rinsed, and patted dry
salt to taste
5 spring onions, thinly sliced
1/4 cup peeled and thinly sliced ginger

Season sea bass with salt.
Place 1/3 of the spring onions and ginger onto a glass or ceramic plate; cover with sea bass. Scatter remaining spring onions and ginger over the sea bass.
Bring a wide pot of water to a boil. Set a rack inside the boiling water; place the plate of sea bass on top. Cover pot and steam until sea bass flakes easily with a fork, 8 to 10 minutes. Pour out any water that may have collected on the plate.
Mix soy sauce, chile oil, and sugar together in a small bowl; pour over the sea bass before serving.
