When oil is smoking, add fish, sesame seed side down to pan, and be careful of oil splatters. Pan sear fish for about 30 to 45 seconds per side.

Steps:
- Remove any blemished outside stalks from the greens. Put the spinach to one side so that you can add it to the wok or pan at the last minute, as it cooks very quickly. Prepare the rest of the Chinese greens; i normally cut the Chinese broccoli into strips and the bok choy into quarters. Plunge the greens into boiling water for about 1 1/2 minutes until just tender, and drain well.
- Put the oil and the ginger into a very large, hot wok or other suitable pan and cook for about 30 seconds. Add the scallions and the rest of the ingredients apart from the seasoning. Stir, then add the spinach and toss so that everything is coated in sauce. The vegetables will sizzle and stir-fry. The oyster and soy sauce will reduce, just coating the greens. At this point season to taste. Stir-fry for a further minute and serve immediately.

SOY BALSAMIC GINGER SAUCE
This is excellent on a number of things. It is recommended as a sauce for steamed baby bok choy (also known as pak choi) in the 1997 edition of The Joy of Cooking. It is indeed delicious on bok choy, but it is so good that it is a shame you'd only find it if looking for recipes for baby bok choy. It is also tasty with broccoli or other green vegetables, on fish, and probably on chicken and other things I haven't tried yet.

Tips:
- Choose fresh and tender ginger: The fresher the ginger, the stronger and more vibrant its flavor will be. Look for ginger that is plump, smooth, and free of blemishes or bruises.
- Slice or grate the ginger finely: This will help the ginger flavor infuse into the sauce more easily. If you are using a microplane, be careful not to grate the ginger too finely, as this can make the sauce bitter.
- Use a good quality soy sauce: The soy sauce you use will have a big impact on the flavor of the final dish. Look for a soy sauce that is naturally brewed and has a rich, umami flavor.
- Don't boil the sauce: Boiling the sauce will cause the alcohol in the mirin and sake to evaporate, and it will also make the sauce too thick. Simmer the sauce gently over low heat until it has thickened slightly.
- Taste the sauce before serving: Adjust the seasonings to your liking. If the sauce is too salty, you can add a little bit of sugar to balance out the flavors. If the sauce is too sweet, you can add a little bit of lemon juice or vinegar.
Conclusion:
Ginger soy sauce is a versatile and flavorful condiment that can be used to add a delicious umami flavor to a variety of dishes. It is especially popular in Asian cuisine, but it can also be used to add flavor to Western dishes. Whether you are using it as a dipping sauce, a marinade, or a stir-fry sauce, ginger soy sauce is sure to add a delicious and unique flavor to your food.
