Use a knife to make 1-2 diagonal cuts on the fish body to help the fish absorb the spices when marinating (if the fish is large, with a thick body, make cuts, if the fish is small, there is no need to make cuts). Finally, marinate the fish with 1 teaspoon of seasoning powder and 1 teaspoon of pepper.

Cut the roots of the green onions and coriander and wash them. Cut the green onions in half and chop the roots.

Peel and wash the ginger. Wash and slice the chili. Peel, wash and chop the garlic and shallots.

Put ginger, chili, shallot in a clean bowl, add 2-3 tablespoons of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of cooking oil, 2 tablespoons of oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon of fish sauce, 1 tablespoon of salt, 1 tablespoon of seasoning powder and mix well.

Arrange the fish in a clean bowl and pour the mixed water evenly around the fish. Then, marinate for about 30 minutes to let the fish absorb the flavor.
