Instructions
- In a bowl, combine fish and soy sauce. Marinate for about 30 minutes in the refrigerator. Drain well.
- In a bowl, whisk egg until frothy.
- In another bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Dredge fish fillets in flour mixture, dip in the beaten egg, and then dredge again in flour mixture to fully coat.
- In a pan over medium heat, heat about 1-inch deep of oil. Add battered fish fillets and cook, turning once or twice, until golden and cooked through. Remove from pan and drain on paper towels.
- In a bowl, combine pineapple juice, vinegar, ketchup, sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Stir until smooth.
- In a pan over medium heat, heat about 1 tablespoon oil. Add bell peppers and onions and cook, stirring regularly, until half cooked. Remove from pan and set aside.
- In the pan, add sauce mixture and bring to a boil, whisking regularly, for about 2 to 3 minutes or until thickened.
- Add bell peppers and onions.
- Add fried fish fillets and cook and toss quickly just until coated with sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.
Notes
- For the best crisp, maintain oil at the optimal temperature of 350 F to 375 F when deep-frying. Too high and the outside coating will burn before the inside is thoroughly cooked; too low and they’ll absorb more grease.
- Do not overcrowd the pan, and fry in batches as needed to prevent the oil temperature from plummeting.
- Add pineapple chunks for extra flavor and texture.
- You can finish off the sweet and sour fish in two ways.
- You can drizzle the sauce just before serving to keep the fried fish nice and crispy or simmer them in the sauce to soak it up.
