Directions : Sweet And Sour Belt Fish Recipe

STEP 1.1 wash and clean 500 gm belt fish, remove the internal organs and wash the fish thoroughly.

STEP 4.1 place 500 gm prepared pieces of belt fish (or any fish of choice) in a mixing bowl.

STEP 5.2 using a cleaver, smash 4 cloves garlic, 2 inches ginger, 2 stalks of scallion. This helps to release the flavours. Add these to the bowl with the fish. Add 1 tbsp sichuan peppercorns, 1 ½ tbsp cooking wine, ½ tbsp oyster sauce and ¼ tsp salt. Mix it together well.

STEP 8.5 to deep fry the fish, in a pan add 1 ½ cup of oil and heat it to 360 degrees fahrenheit.

STEP 9.6 turn the heat to medium or medium-low and add the pieces of marinated fish one at a time to the hot oil. Remove the aromatics from each piece before frying.

STEP 10.7 fry for 3 to 5 minutes on each side till evenly golden brown.

STEP 11.8 take the fish out of the oil and set them aside.

STEP 12.9 heat a wok and add 1 tbsp oil. Swirl to cover the surface of the wok with oil.

STEP 13.10 add 4 cloves garlic, 4 slices ginger, 3 pieces dry red chilli and stir fry till fragrant.

STEP 14.11 then add the sauce mixture and the fried fish.

STEP 15.12 adjust the fish so that they are all in the sauce.

STEP 16.13 bring the sauce to a boil and then turn the heat to low.

STEP 17.14 cover the wok and let it simmer for 5 minutes. Then flip all the pieces of fish over to let the otherside soak in the sauce.

STEP 18.15 cover and continue to simmer for another 5 minutes. Turn off the heat.

STEP 19.16 serve the fish in a bowl and pour the sauce over it along with the whole garlic and chilies from the wok.
