Ingredients

4 x 150g firm white fish fillets such as hoki
3cm-piece fresh ginger, peeled, cut in thin matchsticks
1 long red chilli, deseeded, thinly sliced
3 spring onions, trimmed, cut in 4cm lengths, thinly sliced lengthwise
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1 ½ tablespoons salt-reduced soy sauce
2 tablespoons Chinese rice wine or dry sherry
1 clove garlic, crushed
4 cups cooked jasmine rice, to serve
4 cups steamed Asian greens, to serve

Instructions

1 Line a heatproof dinner plate with a large sheet of baking paper. Place fish on paper in a single layer and sprinkle with ginger, chilli and spring onions. Fold up paper to enclose.

2 Add enough water to a large wok to fill to 5cm and bring to the boil. Place plate in a large bamboo steamer and cover with lid. Reduce heat to a gentle boil and place steamer in wok over water. Steam for 6-7 minutes until fish is just cooked and flakes easily.

3 Meanwhile, place sesame oil, soy sauce, Chinese rice wine and garlic in a small saucepan and heat until boiling.

4 Serve fish and rice with Asian greens. Drizzle with a little of the hot dressing and garnish with extra sliced spring onions.
