Mama Nash makes a whips up a sumptuous

Simple Chinese Style Sweet and Sour Fish recipe.

[cool_tag_cloud]

This dish is a family favourite and reasonably easy to make. My mum used to make it, and I just watched her and improvised a little! I use a few cheats to save time as well! You can use any firm flesh white fish, like Cod, Emperor, or Snapper, I used Red Emperor, cut into boneless fillets. I coated the fish slices with a easy to make batter before frying until golden brown. I used Red Onion and Red Bell Peppers, but you can also include Yellow, and Green Bell Peppers to make it more colourful. Should you wish, you can add Pineapple Cubes in this preparation, for added texture and taste. I kept it simple and did not! For the sauce, I used a cheat to save time. I used 7 tablespoons of the ‘Maggie Sos Tomato’, I only use this brand, as it works every time. Here is the Ingredient List and the Method.

Good Luck!

Ingredients

  • 430g White Fish ,
  • Kentucky All Purpose Seasoned Flour ,
  • 70ml water
  • One medium Bell Pepper (Capsicum),
  • One Small Cucumber,
  • One medium Tomato
  • ½ cup Vegetable Oil,
  • 1 teaspoon of Salt (to taste),
  • 1 teaspoon of Sugar (to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon Cornflour,
  • Half a medium Red Onion
  • ‘Maggie Sos Tomato’ – 7 tablespoons

Step by Step Instructions

  1. Create the batter. Add the salt, and all-purpose seasoned flour in a bowl, and pour in the water and mix well. Check the consistency of the batter, to ensure it is not too thick, or too runny. Coat the fish in this batter mixture and keep aside for 20 to 30 minutes. Then deep fry the fish until it is golden brown. Drain excess oil using a paper towel lined plate.
  2. Next make the sweet and sour sauce. Start by using the 7 tablespoons of Maggie Tomato Sauce and combine with 5 tablespoons of warm water and 1 teaspoon of cornflour and mix well. Then keep this sauce aside.
  3. In a wok, heat about 1½ tablespoon of oil over high heat. Then stir fry the diced onion, bell pepper, cucumber, and tomato on medium heat, for 5 to 10 minutes, or until tender. Add in the sweet and sour sauce, and sugar. Adjust the seasoning to your taste, then add in the fried fish and mix well, until the fish is fully coated with the sauce. Remove from the heat, set aside, and serve hot on a bed of rice.
