  3. Place a little ginger and garlic inside the cavity of each fish and then lay them on a plate or dish.

  4. Rub the bean mixture into the fish, especially into the slashes then scatter the remaining ginger and garlic over the top. Cover and chill for 30 minutes.

  5. Place the plate inside a steamer over a pan of boiling water. Sprinkle the rice wine or sherry and half the soy sauce over and steam for 15-20 minutes, or until just cooked.

  6. Sprinkle the cooked fish with the remaining soy sauce and then scatter the shredded or sliced spring onions over the top.

  7. In a small pan, heat the sunflower oil until it is smoking, then drizzle it over the spring onions on top of the fish. Finally, sprinkle with the sesame oil and then serve the fish immediately.
