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.
