Instructions

  1. Cut the fish into thick, bite-sized pieces. Add cornstarch to the fish fillets and coat them evenly. Set aside.
  2. Peel the ginger, slice it, and cut it into thin strips.
  3. Mix all the ingredients for the sauce in a small bowl. Stir well to combine and ensure the sugar melts.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet or well-seasoned wok with cooking oil over medium to high heat. Once the oil is fully heated, add the ginger and stir-fry until it turns light brown. Remove the ginger from the oil and set aside in a bowl.
  5. Using the ginger-infused oil, pan-fry the fish until both sides turn light to golden brown. Be sure to turn the fish gently with a spatula, tongs, or preferably a pair of long cooking chopsticks. Fish fillets are delicate, so handle them carefully to avoid breaking them while pan-frying.
  6. Add the sauce to the fish. Once the sauce starts to bubble, turn off the heat and dish out the fish. Top with the ginger strips and scallions. Serve immediately with steamed rice.

Notes

  • What is a white fish? White fish refers to a group of fish with white flesh, for example: halibut, pollock, cod, snapper, sole or flounder. You want to use firm white fish as it’s easier to cook.
