Steamed Cod with Napa Cabbage

Ingredients

• cod fillets — 2 pieces (about 300 g total)
• napa cabbage — 200 g, cut into wide strips
• ginger — 5 slices, cut into thin strips
• light soy sauce — 1.5 tbsp
• rice wine or dry sherry — 1 tbsp (optional)
• sesame oil — 1/2 tsp
• white pepper — 1/4 tsp
• scallions — 1 stalk, shredded into thin strips

Steps (beginner-friendly)

1. Pat the cod fillets very dry with paper towels — dry fish absorbs flavor and steams more cleanly.
2. Rub the fillets all over with rice wine and white pepper, and let sit while you prep the cabbage.
