- Set up a steaming unit by placing crisscrossed sets of chopsticks
in the bottom of a wok or by placing a small rack in the bottom of a
large, deep skillet. Fill with boiling water up to the rack or
chopsticks.
- Combine black bean sauce, sesame oil, ginger, pepper, orange juice
concentrate, and water.
- Pat fish dry and place in a single layer in an 8″/1.5 L
baking dish.
- Pour sauce over fish.
- Put fish dish on steaming apparatus. Cover tightly (use foil if
wok or skillet doesn't have a tight-fitting lid).
- Steam fish over high heat for 10 minutes, or until just
cookied.
- Sprinkle fish with green onions and cliantro.
Variation: if steaming isn't desired or practical, the fish can be
covered with foil and baked at 425°F/220°C for 10 minutes, or just until
it is cooked through.
