Sea Bass With Hoisin Sauce
Ingredients:
1 whole sea bass, scales, guts, and gills discarded
3 Tablespoons dark soy sauce
2 Tablespoons hoisin sauce
1 Tablespoon hot chili oil
2 Tablespoons sesame oil
1 teaspoon minced fermented black beans
1 Tablespoon minced fresh ginger
1 Tablespoon vegetable oil
1 Tablespoon cornstarch mixed with the same amount of cold water
1 cup angle-sliced snow peas, strings discarded

Preparation:
1. Dry fish inside and out.
2. Mix the next six ingredients (soy sauce through ginger) together and marinate the sea bass for two hours in it covered, in the refrigerator.
3. Put fish and the marinade in a heat-proof bowl or platter with a one-inch or greater edge, cover with foil with holes pieced on the top side ten times with a fork, then steam this fish over boiling water for twenty minutes.
4. While the fish is steaming, boil snow peas for three minutes, drain, and keep them warm in a hot oven.
5. Uncover, and serve on this or another clean preheated platter, surrounding the fish with the cooked snow peas.
