Chef's Notes
Steam management is everything here. Never let your wok run dry, or you will summon the smoke dragons and ruin your steamer rack!
Pro Tip
Scoring the fish all the way to the bone ensures the heat penetrates the thickest parts evenly and allows the seasoning to lock into the flesh.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
The most common disaster is pouring cold or lukewarm oil over the fish instead of shimmering, near-smoking hot oil, which results in a sad, greasy pile of soggy herbs instead of that glorious aromatic sizzle.

The Culinary Science
Pouring screaming hot oil over fresh herbs causes thermal cell lysis, instantly bursting the essential oils and releasing an intense aromatic explosion.

Delicate Protein Preservation
Storage Science
Cool quickly and refrigerate in an airtight container immediately. Seafood degrades rapidly; consume within 24 to 48 hours maximum.
Reheating Science
DO NOT microwave on high. Seafood proteins tighten and become rubbery when rapidly heated. Reheat gently in a covered pan over low heat with a splash of water or stock to create gentle steam, preserving moisture.
