Fold trout back together and place in steamer lined with napa cabbage leaves. Steam for 10 minutes until fish is fully cooked. Drizzle a little soy syrup and flash with hot curry oil.
For the Soy Syrup: Combine all and reduce at a simmer until a syrup consistency is achieved, about a 60 to 70 percent reduction. Let cool.
