Step 1

First, prepare the tilapia (ours was already gutted and de-scaled when we bought it; if yours wasn't, make sure to do that!):

Step 2

We'll be cutting ginger into two different shapes to use in two different places.

Step 3

In a small bow, mix together light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, cooking wine, white pepper, water, sugar, and salt.

Step 4

Set the steamer rack in your wok. Boil water in (or add boiling water to) the wok, enough water to nearly reach where the dish will sit.

Step 5

Heat oil on high heat for about 1 minute, or until shimmering. Then, carefully pour the oil over the fish.
