- Rinse the black beans in several changes of cold water and drain in a small sieve. Crush the beans in a small bowl with the back of a spoon. Add the garlic, ginger, cornflour and soy sauce. Mix well to form a thick paste.
- Make 3 slashes on either side of the fish and spread the paste evenly over both sides. Set aside for 30 minutes.
- Steam the fish over low heat for 10 to 15 minutes until the flesh turns opaque and flakes off easily with a fork.
- Remove the fish and garnish with spring onions and corinader sprigs. Serve immediately.
