1
Prepare the fish

Clean and rinse the whole fish. Pat dry with paper towels.

2
Season the fish

Rub the fish inside and out with salt and white pepper.

3
Prepare ginger

Peel and julienne the ginger into thin strips.

Prepare scallions

Cut scallions into 2-inch lengths, then slice lengthwise into thin strips.

Set up a steamer or place a steaming rack in a wok or large pot with water. Bring water to a boil.

Place the fish on a heat-proof plate that fits in your steamer.

Stuff some ginger strips inside the fish cavity and scatter the rest on top.
