Sweet & Sour Fish

IMG_9145

  1. Cut 2 fish filets into bite-sized pieces. Season with a little salt, white pepper powder.
  2. Dip fish filets into egg wash, then cornstarch. Pan-fry / deep-fry the fish. Set aside.
  3. Clean 2 green bell peppers and cut into triangles.
  4. Open a small can of canned pineapple (slice in juice) and cut into bite-sized pieces.
  5. Heat wok with oil, ginger and chopped garlic. Add bell pepper and pineapple, stir fry.
  6. When the pepper is almost done (take just couple of minutes), add sweet & sour sauce and fish filets. Stir well until the sauce all coated onto fish and pepper.

I just use Lee Kum Kee sweet & sour pork sauce for convenience. You can always make the sauce yourself, I’ve come across a good recipe for sweet & sour sauce (listed as below) :

白醋一斤,鹽兩茶匙,片糖(或赤砂糖)十二両、茄汁六両、喼汁一両、老抽兩茶匙。
煮滾醋,先下鹽後落糖,溶化後加茄汁、喼汁,翻滾後下老抽調色,次序不可調亂。白醋以百分之六的標準酸度的美國蘋果醋最可靠。
