They don't want the freshness of the seafood⁷ to be crushed by strong seasoning⁸.

他们不希望海鲜的鲜味被味道浓烈的调味料破坏掉

And just a lot of spring onions, and that's it.

还有很多葱，就是这样

Perfect, just a few minutes.

完美，只需几分钟

Next, pour hot oil on the spring onions and chillies,

然后，在葱和辣椒上浇上热油

then add a good splash of soy sauce to bring out the flavours.

再泼上些酱油把味道带出来

It's very Cantonese, because it's steamed and minimum amount of seasoning.

这是正宗广东式的，因为它是蒸的，并且用了最少量的调味料

Great, good, can I try one?

太好了，真好，我能尝一个吗
