Ingredients
  

Marinade

  • 500 g fish
  • 5 g ginger
  • 5 g green onion
  • 2 lemon slices
  • 1 tbsp cooking wine
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper powder

Frying

  • Oil adjust the amount according to the amount of fish
  • 50 g cornstarch add more if needed until the fish is evenly coated on both sides

Stir-Frying

  • 10 g shredded green and red chili pepper
  • 5 g diced onion
  • 10 g salt and pepper seasoning

Instructions
 

Prepare The Fish

  • Prepare the fish by cleaning it with water and cutting it into square chunks, about 2 to 3 inches wide.
  • Slice the fish with lines of cut marks at a 45-degree angle and about 2mm deep.
  • Repeat step 2 on the other side of the fish.

Prepare The Marinade

  • Place the fish in a bowl or container for the marinade.
  • Then, add 5g ginger, 5g green onion, 2 lemon slices, 1 tbsp cooking wine, 1 tsp salt, and 1 tsp pepper powder.
  • Mix the ingredients well and massage them onto the fish to absorb.
  • Marinate for 20 minutes. You can marinate it longer for better absorption of flavors.

Fry The Fish

  • After marinating the fish, remove all the bits of seasonings used (ginger, green onion, and lemon slices).
  • Then, coat both sides of the fish with cornstarch. Make sure each side is coated evenly.
  • Next, prepare the pan for frying by heating the cooking oil.
  • When the oil is hot, fry one side of the fish for a few minutes or until golden brown. Do not overcrowd the pan as you want to cook the sides evenly and prevent each piece from sticking.
  • Add more oil if needed since the fish will absorb the oil.
  • Then, turn the fish over and fry the other side until golden brown. Both sides should take about 5 minutes or more to cook.
  • Allow the fish to drain the excess oil with a strainer or paper towel.

Stir-Fry The Fish

  • In a pan, stir fry 10g shredded green and red chili pepper and 5g diced onion. Stir-fry until fragrant.
  • Then, add the fried fish and sprinkle the salt and pepper seasoning.
  • Mix the ingredients well until both sides are well-coated.
  • Serve while fresh and enjoy!
