Place the contents of the can in a small heatproof dish, steam a pot 
of rice, place the dish on top of the rice as it finishes steaming. 
This assumes you're doing the kind of Chinese rice cookery in which 
the rice is washed and placed in a pot with enough water to cover by 
a depth of about 1/2 to 3/4 inch, boiled hard until the water is 
evaporated and the rice just starts to crackle like Rice Krispies, 
the rice is stirred lightly, then the pot is covered and the heat 
reduced to bare minimum, where it will steam in its own residual 
moisture for 20-30 minutes. You'd put the dish of fish on top of it 
after the boiling, just before you cover the pot.

Serve the rice in bowls, eat the fish with chopsticks. You may want 
to remove some of the larger bones, but as with sardines, they're 
edible. There'll probably also be some oil in the can; you probably 
don't need to be too scrupulous about getting rid of it.
