2. Then put the prepared fish in the steamer and leave it for 10-15 minutes or until cooked thoroughly.
3. Prepare the topping sauce : Heat oil in a wok over medium heat. Add garlic and black bean sauce. Stir until fragrant, then add sugar, soy sauce, scallion, chili pepper and water. Turn up to high heat. Stir quickly until all ingredients mixed well. Remove from heat.
