Ingredients
- 10 oz. Basa fish fillet cut into pieces
- 1 1/2 tablespoons oil
- 2- inch ginger skin peeled and cut into thin slices
- 2 stalks scallion cut into 2-inch lengths (5 cm)
Marinade:
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Shaoxing wine
Sauce:
- 1/2 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1/2 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon sesame oil
- 3-4 tablespoons water
- salt to taste
- 3 dashes white pepper powder
Instructions
- Marinate the fish for about 10 minutes. Mix the sauce ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
- Heat up the wok with cooking oil. Add ginger slices to the wok when the oil is very hot. Stir-fry the ginger until aromatic, then add the fish fillet. Stir-fry the fish until it is half cooked.
- Add the sauce and continue to stir-fry until the fish is cooked through. If the sauce dries out, add a little water. Add the chopped scallions and stir briefly. Dish out and serve hot.

Notes
- Using fresh ginger and scallions will enhance the flavor of the dish. Avoid using old or wilted ingredients.
- Opt for firm-fleshed fish fillets like Basa, tilapia, or cod that can withstand stir-frying without falling apart.
- Make sure your wok or pan is hot enough before adding ingredients. This helps to quickly stir-fry and sear the fish without overcooking.
- If the sauce becomes too thick or dries out during cooking, add a splash of water to adjust the consistency.
