Cut the head and tail off the flounder to fit it in the steaming pan.

Slice scallions into 2.5 to 3-inch pieces and place them in the bottom of a Dutch oven.

Add about 3/4 inch of water to the Dutch oven.

Place a heat-proof bowl or wire rack in the Dutch oven to hold the dish with the fish.

Put the flounder on top of the scallions in the dish.

Cover the Dutch oven and bring the water to a boil.

Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and steam the fish for 15 to 20 minutes.

After steaming, carefully remove the cover and tilt the plate to pour off any accumulated juice.

Sprinkle salt and pepper over the fish.

Heat soybean oil in a wok until it starts to smoke.

Using a heat-proof ladle, pour the hot oil over the top of the fish until it sizzles.

Drizzle thin soy sauce over the fish after searing with hot oil.
