After the garfish is slaughtered, the internal organs and gills of the fish are removed and cleaned.

Cut the pickled vegetables into fine slices and soak them in water for 15 minutes and squeeze the water.

9.
Bring water to a boil in the wok, put the plate with the garfish on the grate, cover and steam for 8 minutes.

Take out the steamed Gayu, and sprinkle the remaining minced garlic and chives on the surface. Pour the steamed fish soy sauce.

Tips:
1. There is no need to add salt to this dish. The pickled vegetables have a little umami after soaking, and the tempeh and steamed fish soy sauce are salty and the taste is enough.
2. The key to making this dish is the control of the heat, that is, the time of steaming the fish. The fish will become old as time goes by, and the inside of the fish will be raw if the time is short. The steaming time should be adjusted according to the size of the fish.
3. Pickled vegetables are usually older, so they will taste better if they are fried in advance and then steamed.
