Separate the green part of green onions from the whites. We will use the white part to rest the fish on top. Shred the green part into thin long strips
Soak the dried wolfberries in warm water until soften. Discard the water
Prepare the fish:
I bought a whole fish that has been scaled and gutted. Simply clean fish by rubbing some salt on the skin and inside. This will help to remove fish odor and retain moisture and freshness of the fish when cooked. Rinse off and pat the fish really dry with an absorbent paper towel.
Make 3 slits on the flesh where it is the thickest
Steam the fish:
Line a plate with 3 stalks of the white part of the green onion (as shown in the photo above). Put the fish on top. This prevents the fish from sticking to the plate and the fish cooks evenly on both sides too. Steam over high heat for 10 minutes. Then turn off the heat and let it sit in the steamer for 2 minutes
Remove the fish and discard any liquid that is collected on the plate. Pour the dressing over the fish. Arrange the green part of the green onion, goji berries, and minced garlic on top
Fry the ginger strips:
Preheat a skillet and add sesame oil. Fry the ginger strips until crispy
Put everything together:
Arrange the crispy ginger strips on top of the fish and then pour the hot oil on top to let the oil scalds the garlic and green onion strips. The fish is ready to be served
