Ingredients
Scale
Sauce:
- 5 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 4 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
- 1 teaspoon sriracha
- ¼ teaspoon sesame oil
- Red chili flakes to taste
Fish:
- 500g fish filets, sliced
- 2 garlic cloves, sliced
- 1 teaspoon garlic paste
- ½ teaspoon red chili powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
Instructions
- Mix all sauce ingredients together in a small bowl and place it aside.
- Cut the fish with vertical slices and season it with garlic paste, salt, and chili powder. The fish needs 10 minutes to marinate properly.
- Your wok or pan should be heated with oil before cooking the fish in small batches. Watch as the fish changes from translucent to white.
- Take out the cooked fish and add the remaining garlic with vegetables to the same pan.
- The next step requires you to add half the sauce and mix everything thoroughly. Put the fish back in the pan and pour the remaining sauce.
- The final touch involves adding chicken stock if you prefer. Let everything come to a boil and thicken the sauce with cornstarch slurry.
Notes
- Make sure to pat your fish dry before cutting. This helps the coating stick better
- The pan needs enough space between fish pieces. Overcrowding affects proper cooking
- Your cooked fish needs gentle handling to stay intact
- A cornstarch slurry helps you control the sauce consistency
