Whole Fish Drizzled with Hot Ginger Scallion Oil

The Chinese word for fish (yu) sounds similar to the Chinese word most closely translated to "abundance," so for her Lunar New Year celebration, Lucky Chow producer Danielle Chang serves fish to usher in prosperity and abundance in the new year. Chang uses light soy sauce in this dish—it is lighter in color and higher in salt than dark soy sauce, making it ideal for imparting flavor in steamed seafood.
