Fish Stir Fry
Report
This recipe works with any firm, white fish, or you can use shrimp, scallops, lobster or clams. Some of the ingredients can be hard to find outside Asian markets or online, so I have substitutions below.

Ingredients
MARINADE
- 1 pound skinless, boneless fish, cut into chunks
- 4 tablespoons potato, corn or tapioca starch
- 2 egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- oil for frying
STIR FRY
- 2 tablespoons minced ginger
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 4 green onions, sliced thin
- 2 to 6 small hot, chiles, sliced (optional)
- 2 tablespoons chile bean paste (pixian or doubanjiang)
- 1/2 teaspoon potato, corn or tapioca starch
- 1/4 cup fish stock, seafood stock or water
- 2 tablespoons black vinegar, or malt vinegar
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground Sichuan peppercorns (optional)
Instructions
- Mix all the marinade ingredients (except for the oil) together in a bowl. Really make sure each piece of fish is coated. Let this sit while you heat the oil up in a wok or pot. You want it at a full 350°F.
- Fry the pieces of fish in batches, using a chopstick or butter knife to separate them as they fry. Fry until golden brown, then drain on a cooling rack set over a baking sheet. Let the oil cool a bit, then pour off all but about 2 or 3 tablespoons.
- If you're not using a wok, move the oil to a big frying pan. Get the oil screaming hot over high heat on your biggest burner. The second it starts to smoke, add the ginger, garlic, green onions and chiles and stir fry about 30 seconds.
- Mix the starch with the stock so you have a slurry.
- Return the fish to the wok and add the bean paste, stock-and-starch mixture and stir fry 1 minute, or until the sauce looks glossy. Add the vinegar, soy sauce and Sichuan peppercorns and toss to combine. Serve at once.
Notes
- If you can't find small, hot chiles like Thai or Chinese tsien tsin, use a serrano.
- You can reuse the oil by pouring it through a strainer to remove debris. It can be reused up to 4 or 5 times. Label it "fish oil."
