Carefully add the flounder to the saucepan, ensuring it is submerged.

Simmer the flounder for about 10-15 minutes, or until cooked through.

Gently turn the flounder halfway through cooking to ensure even flavor absorption.

Remove the flounder from the saucepan and place it on a serving plate.

Drizzle the reduced sauce over the flounder.

Garnish with additional shredded ginger if desired.
