•
1/8 cup water
•
crushed red pepper flakes to taste
•

Directions
1
Arrange 1/2 of the green onions on the bottom of the steaming bowl (it is important to steam in a container in order to retain the steam and juices around the fish). Place 1/2 of the mushrooms and Napa cabbage sections on top of onions. Place fish on top of vegetables. Sprinkle ginger, garlic, and red pepper flakes over fish. Top with remaining green onions, mushrooms, and napa cabbage. Drizzle soy sauce and water over everything.
