Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Rinse the white fish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Place the fillets onto a heatproof plate that will fit inside your steamer.

- Bring water to a boil in your steamer or a large pot with a steamer insert.
- Carefully place the plate with the fish inside the steamer.
- Cover the steamer and steam the fish for about 8-10 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
- While the fish is steaming, mix together the soy sauce, sugar, peanut oil, and sesame oil in a small bowl.
- Once the fish is fully cooked, remove the plate from the steamer using tongs or oven mitts (be careful of the hot steam!).
- Drizzle the sauce mixture evenly over the steamed fish.
- Garnish the fish with the remaining sliced scallions and fresh coriander leaves.
- Serve immediately with steamed rice or your choice of side dishes.
Tips:
- Make sure to use fresh white fish to attain the best flavor and texture.

- For an extra layer of flavor, marinate the fish in soy sauce and sesame oil for 15-20 minutes before steaming.
- Keep an eye on the steaming time to prevent the fish from becoming overcooked and dry.
- Serve the steamed fish immediately to enjoy it at its best, garnished with fresh coriander and sliced chili peppers.
