- Place 3.5 litres water, wine, 6 coriander sprigs, thinly sliced ginger and halved green onions in a large wok and bring to the boil over medium heat. Cut 3 slits into fish on either side then carefully add to liquid, ensuring fish is completely covered (if not, add a little boiling water), and return mixture to the boil. Cover with a lid or foil. Turn off heat and leave fish to finish cooking in residual heat of cooking liquid for 20 minutes or until cooked through.
