Method

  1. 1

    Lay the sea bass fillets on a heatproof plate and spoon over the black bean sauce mixed with the crushed garlic and half the fresh ginger.

  2. 2

    Set the plate in a steamer basket over a pan of simmering water, cover and steam for 10 minutes, until the fish is opaque and flakes easily.

  3. 3

    Heat the groundnut oil in a small pan until just smoking, then pour it over the fish so it sizzles.

  4. 4

    Scatter with the remaining ginger and the spring onions.

  5. 5

    Serve with steamed rice.
