For the Chinese recipe, you can reduce the oil to ¼ cup (instead of ½ cup) and delete the Chinese cooking wine if you prefer.  You can also use a smaller portion of fish if that is better for you.  Serve with rice and some stir fried veggies.   https://www.epicurious.com/ recipes/food/views/steamed- whole-fish-with-ginger- scallions-and-soy-51115200
