Ginger Onion Fried Fish

 

Ingredients:

1 fish (any fish of your choice - I use Golden Pomfret)

2 tbsp. cooking oil

1 tbsp. minced ginger (I finely shredded)

1 tbsp. chopped garlic

1 red chili (remove seeds and sliced)

1/2 onion (peeled and sliced slightly thicker)

1 sprig spring onion (chopped) - I did not use

1 tbsp. light soy sauce

1 tbsp. oyster sauce

1/2 tsp. granulated sugar (to taste - add more if needed)

Dash of pepper

Methods:

1. Clean the fish, deboned and cut into bite-sized pieces.
2. Marinate the fish with a pinch of salt and pepper for 15 minutes.
3. In a medium heated wok, add 2 tablespoon of cooking oil.  Add the fish pieces and fry both sides until golden brown.  Remove and set aside.
4. In the same heated wok with leftover oil from frying the fish, add ginger, onion, chili and garlic, and saute until fragrant.
5. Add spring onions, if using, and give it a quick stir.
6. Return the fish pieces into the wok and give it a quick stir.
7. Add light soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
8. Taste for correct seasoning; add light soy sauce, oyster sauce, or sugar if needed.
9. Remove from heat and serve hot with freshly cooked fluffy rice.

I adapted this recipe from 'Foodie Frenzy' with slight adjustments to suit my cooking preference.
