For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a tablespoon of Shaoxing wine or dry sherry to the soy sauce mixture. Feel free to experiment with different types of mushrooms, such as oyster mushrooms or enoki mushrooms, for varied textures and flavors. Ensure the steaming bowl is heat-proof and can withstand the high temperatures of steaming. The steaming time may vary depending on the thickness of the fish fillets. Check for doneness by gently flaking the fish with a fork.
