This classic Cantonese dish proves that less is often more. This microwave version does away with steamers and water baths for a simple preparation that brings out the fish's delicate natural flavor. Finish it with a hit of hot peanut oil, which lightly fries and brings out the fragrance of the ginger and scallions.
All of Anyday’s recipes are tested (and retested!) in many different microwave and home kitchens to make sure they work—, and work well. Unless specified otherwise, all recipes should be cooked at full power

Certain foods cook best in the microwave at lower power levels.

Different microwaves have different settings. See your microwave manual (or look it up online) to learn how to change your microwave’s power level.
For many microwaves: enter the cook time, press the “Power” (or “Power Level”) button, and select a number between 1-10. Other microwaves may require selecting the Power Level first, and then entering the cook time.
Microwaves list power levels in different ways. Here’s a guide to help you adjust:
PL 10 = 100% = High (default)
PL 9 = 90% = High
PL 8 = 80% = Med-High
PL 7 = 70% = Med-High
PL 6 = 60% = Medium
PL 5 = 50% = Medium
PL 4 = 40% = Med-Low
PL 3 = 30% = Med-Low
PL 2 = 20% = Low
PL 1 = 10% = Low
You will know if the power level has been successfully changed if you hear periodic changes in the microwave’s tone after it begins cooking.
- Let it rest for 2 minutes with the lid on to gently continue steaming. Serve with sauce and garnish with more sliced green onions, if desired.
Suggestions
- Enjoy with steamed white or brown rice or serve with steamed cauliflower rice for a low carb meal.
- Add some chili crisp or oil over the finished dish for some heat.
Recipe Notes
- Microwave ovens vary, even with the same wattages. Adjust cooking times as needed.
