1. Bone fish and cut against the grain in 1/4-inch slices.
2. Blanch bean sprouts. Cut scallions in 1-inch sections. Mince ginger

sections and soy sauce; stir-fry a few times.

medium heat, until done (about 2 minutes).
6. Meanwhile blend cornstarch and cold water to a paste; then stir in to

sprouts and scallions 2 tablespoons Chinese preserved sweet pickle and 1
tablespoon preserved ginger, both shredded. Omit the soy sauce.
