There are countless ways to cook tilapia, and the most common methods are steaming and braising. To braise tilapia, remove the internal organs from the tilapia you bought, clean it thoroughly, and after preparing it, place it in a container, add cooking wine, salt, and chopped scallions and marinate for a moment. Then pour an appropriate amount of oil into the pan, pan-fry the tilapia until both sides are golden brown, then start again with oil in the pan, add chopped scallions, ginger slices, and chili and stir-fry until fragrant, then stir-fry together with the tilapia.

The method for steaming tilapia is similar to braising. After cleaning the tilapia, stuff ginger slices into each scored slit of the marinated fish, carefully place the fish on a steaming plate, and stuff ginger slices and scallion sections into the fish belly to prop it up. Sprinkle scallion and ginger on the fish body as well. Bring water to a boil over high heat, then place the fish plate in, steam for 3 minutes, pour out the liquid in the fish plate, and add 2-3 spoonfuls of yellow wine, then continue steaming for 5 minutes. After steaming, turn off the heat and let it sit covered for 10 minutes to help it cook through. Evenly sprinkle the stir-fried ingredients over the fish, then add cilantro and cherry radish as garnish.
