- 2 large cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoon light soy sauce

Method:
Heat the oils in a wok, add the ginger and garlic and stir fry for a few seconds. Stir in the soy sauce and lime juice.
Place each fish filelt on a piece of baking paper large enough to wrap around it amd make a parcel. Spoon the ginger and garlic sauce over the fish. Sprinkle over the spring onions and 2/3rds of the basil and season to taste with salt and pepper. Fold up the paper around the fish to make a loose parcel.
Place the fish in a large bamboo steamer. Cover and steam over a wok of simmering water for about 8-10 minutes or until the fish is cooked.
Remove the fish from the steamer and place on four warm serving plates. Open each parcel, sprinkle over the remaining basil and serve.
