Fish Steamed with Burdock Root

Method

1. 1 Peel the burdock root, slice it into strips, and immediately soak it in vinegar water for 10 minutes to prevent it from turning brown.
2. 2 Soaking burdock root in vinegar immediately after peeling will cause it to turn dark and dull if left exposed to the air.
3. 3 Blanch the burdock root strips for 4 minutes because this root is much harder than carrots.
4. 4 Fillet the sea bass, marinate with salt and ginger for 10 minutes, and pat dry.
5. 5 Line a plate with shredded burdock and carrots, then place the fish on top and drizzle with cooking wine.
6. 6 Steam over high heat for 12 minutes, then drizzle with soy sauce and sesame oil, and sprinkle with chopped scallions and pepper.
