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
