Ingredients: One sturgeon

1. Using a towel to support, grab the tail of the fish, gently scrape the fish body with a knife to remove the slime, then make incisions on the fish body. This is done to make it easier to plate and also to ensure thorough steaming and flavor absorption; gently scrape the fish body to remove the slime.

2. Prepare a bowl of marinate, using a few cloves of garlic, a slice of ginger, and a little scallion, crush them into a paste in the bowl, extract the juice, and then spread it all over the fish, especially on the cut parts of the fish body and inside the fish belly.

3. Marinate for about five minutes; at this time, the fish itself will also release some juice, so pour out all the sauce.

4. Fill the steamer with enough water, and after the water starts to boil, place the fish and plate inside and steam for about ten minutes.

5. Add some cooking oil to the pot, and when the oil is hot, add a few Sichuan peppercorns to flavor it; chop a few thin scallion strips for later use.
