Chinese Steamed Fish In Sauce - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 medium sized whole white fish fillet, gutted and scales removed (you can have your fish monger do this)
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    2 tablespoons soy sauce
    1/2 teaspoon rice wine vinegar
    1 tablespoon sesame oil (or salad oil)
    4 slices fresh ginger, julienned
    2 large spring onions, julienned
    chopped cilantro, to sprinkle over top
Preparation
    Rinse and drain fish. Score the skin at 1/2 inch intervals on both sides.
    Place the fish on a large plate, and sprinkle with salt inside and out.
    Place the fish in a steamer basket and place in a wok, or use a regular Western steamer pot.
    Sprinkle the fish evenly with the ginger slices, then cover with a lid.
    Steam the fish on medium heat for about 10 minutes.
    Meanwhile, mix soy sauce and vinegar.
    When the fish is flaky and cooked, place it on a serving plate.
    Pour sauce over fish.
    Toss out any water from the wok, and add oil and green onions.
    Saute quickly over a hot flame until onions are a bit tender, then pour sizzling oil and onions over fish.
    Garnish with chopped coriander (cilantro) and serve.
