How to Make Chinese New Year Whole Fish With Sweet And Sour Vegetables

  1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Score the fish flesh, making 3-4 diagonal slits through to the bone on each side.
  3. Season the fish generously with 1 teaspoon of salt, rubbing it into the scored cuts.
  4. Grill the fish for 4 minutes per side, or until cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Alternatively, you can bake the fish in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes.
  5. While the fish is grilling/baking, prepare the sweet and sour sauce. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat.
  6. Add the grated ginger and chopped chilies; stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  7. Add the mixed vegetables and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until tender-crisp.
  8. Add the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Bring to a boil.
  9. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornflour and 2 tablespoons of cold water until smooth.
  10. Pour the cornflour slurry into the wok and stir constantly until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency (about 1-2 minutes).
  11. Place the cooked fish on a serving platter and spoon the sweet and sour vegetable sauce generously over the top.
  12. Serve immediately and enjoy!
