2 tbsp cornstarch

Directions:
1. Rinse the fish well inside and out. Make three diagonal cuts on each side of the fish with a sharp knife. Trim off the fins, leaving the dorsal fin on top. Trim the tail to two neat points.
2. Bring enough water to cover the fish to boil in a wok. Gently lower the fish into the boiling water and add the sherry and ginger. Cover the wok tightly and remove at once from the heat. Allow to stand for 15-20 minutes to let the fish cook in the residual heat.
3. Take all but 4 tbsp of the fish cooking liquid from the wok. Add remaining ingredients including the vegetables and cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens. Spoon some of the sauce over the fish and serve rest.
