How to Make Tilapia In Thai Sauce
- Pat 4 tilapia fillets (6 oz each) dry with paper towels. In a shallow dish, combine 1/4 cup cornstarch and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Dredge each fillet in the cornstarch mixture, ensuring it's evenly coated.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully place the tilapia fillets in the hot skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the cooked tilapia from the skillet and set aside, keeping warm. Add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil to the same skillet (if needed). Add 2 chopped scallions, 2 minced cloves garlic, and 1 inch of grated ginger. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, and the juice of 1 lime. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce slightly thickens and becomes syrupy.
- Return the tilapia fillets to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them to coat. Garnish with 1-2 Thai chilies (finely sliced or to taste), and 1/4 cup chopped cilantro. Serve immediately with lime wedges and sticky rice (optional).
