Prepare the ingredients: break off a piece of ginger, peel it, and slice it into matchstick pieces.

Slice the green onions into halves and set aside.

Place the sea bass on a plate and add the sliced ginger on top.

In a bowl, mix soy sauce, rice wine, and cane sugar until dissolved, then pour over the fish.

Place a trivet in a wok and add water, then bring to a boil.

Once boiling, place the fish on the trivet, cover, and steam for 15-20 minutes, checking halfway to ensure there's enough water.

After steaming, check if the fish is done; it should flake apart easily.

Remove the fish and top with remaining green onions and cilantro.

Heat vegetable oil in a pan and pour over the fish as a finishing touch.
