Instructions

  1. Heat up the wok and add the cooking oil. Toss in sliced ginger, onions, bell peppers, and dried red chilies. Stir-fry until they become aromatic.
  2. Add the fish to the wok and give it a quick stir.
  3. Add in the black bean sauce, fish sauce, sugar, and sesame oil. Stir-fry everything together until the fish is fully cooked and coated in the black bean sauce.
  4. Pour in the cornstarch mixture to thicken the sauce, then toss in the chopped scallions. Give it a quick stir to combine everything well. Dish up and serve hot with steamed rice.

Notes

  • Use flaky white fish like sole or cod for this recipe. They have a mild taste and absorb flavors well. They also pair nicely with black bean sauce.
  • Ensure your wok or skillet is well preheated before adding ingredients to achieve a crispy exterior on the fish.
  • Different brands of black bean sauce differs in its taste and saltiness. Adjust the flavor by adding more sugar, or cut down the quantity of the black bean sauce.
