Creating Chinese Steamed Fish is simple if you follow these steps:

1. Prepare the Fish: Clean and gut the fish, then rinse it under cold water. Pat dry with paper towels.
2. Season the Fish: Place the fish on a heatproof plate. Sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides and inside the cavity.
3. Add Aromatics: Lay ginger slices and half of the chopped green onions inside the cavity of the fish.
4. Set Up the Steamer: Fill a steamer pot with water and bring it to a boil.
5. Steam the Fish: Once the water is boiling, place the plate with the fish in the steamer. Cover and steam for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
6. Prepare the Sauce: While the fish is steaming, mix soy sauce and sesame oil in a small bowl.
7. Serve the Fish: Once cooked, carefully remove the fish from the steamer. Drizzle the soy sauce mixture over the fish.
8. Garnish: Top with remaining chopped green onions and fresh cilantro for a pop of color and flavor.
9. Plate: Serve immediately with steamed rice and your choice of vegetables.
