Tips:
1. Generally, fish that is suitable for steaming can be used for this dish, but I think Wuchang fish has the best effect.
2. When cutting fish, pay attention to the thickness not to exceed one centimeter, because more than one centimeter, there will be few fish fillets, the effect of opening the screen is very thin, and the final effect will not be good. In addition, do not cut off the belly of the fish when cutting.
3. When marinating, I didn't add salt, only light soy sauce, cooking wine, and ginger, and the following seasoning juice was adjusted more. If you add salt while marinating, you must pay attention to adjusting the following seasoning juice, not too salty.
4. Adjust the steaming time according to the size of the fish you buy, but don't steam it for too long.
