Steamed Fish and Stir-fried Vegetables

Method

Steamed fish

1. Wash the fish under cold running water and pat it dry. Lay it in a flat, deep dish such as a glass pie plate and sprinkle with the ginger, wine and green onions. Leave it on the counter while you get the vegetables and steamer ready, turning it now and then.
2. Fill a deep pan or wok with water, cover and bring to a boil. Set the dish of fish inside, cover the pot and steam for 5 minutes, then check. It can take 5 to 10 minutes, depending on the thickness and freshness of the fish.
3. Let the fish sit for a minute, then move it to a platter and garnish with the mushrooms and herbs, and a sprinkle of soy sauce or sesame oil if you like.

Stir-fried vegetables

1. Heat a clean, deep frying pan over high heat. Add the oil, and after about 10 seconds add the spinach.
2. Stir quickly for 30 seconds, then add the garlic, sugar and salt and stir until done. Serve at once.
