How to Make Crispy Fish In Chili Sauce

  1. In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce (2 tbsp), rice vinegar (1 tbsp), sesame oil (1 tsp), cornstarch (2 tbsp), ginger (1 tbsp, minced), garlic (2 cloves, minced), and chili flakes (1-3 tsp, adjust to taste).
  2. Cut the fish fillets (1 lb) into bite-sized pieces. Add the fish to the marinade, ensuring each piece is coated thoroughly. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  3. Heat vegetable oil (2 tbsp) in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the marinated fish pieces, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
  4. Remove the cooked fish from the skillet and set aside.
  5. In the same skillet, add more vegetable oil (1 tbsp) if needed. Sauté the green onions (2 stalks, chopped) and red bell pepper (1/2, thinly sliced) for 1-2 minutes until slightly softened.
  6. Pour the remaining marinade into the skillet and bring to a simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
  7. Add the cooked fish back to the skillet, gently tossing to coat it evenly with the chili sauce.
  8. Serve immediately with steamed rice or noodles. Garnish with chopped cilantro (optional).
