Sweet and Sour Fish Recipe

December 14, 2008 | By Bobby In Recipes |  Print This Post

Are you getting tired of the same old sweet and sour chicken or pork? If so you might want to give this recipe for sweet and sour fish a try. Sweet and sour fish is breaded fish in a delicious sweet and sour sauce with an assortment of fruits and vegetables. You can basically use any kind of white fish for this recipe such as tilapia, halibut, bass, cod, ect. It is always good to try and find nice meaty fillets if possible. I would recommend frying the fish in a deep fryer because in my opinion they just come out better than pan frying. However, if you do not have a deep fryer, feel free to give it a try in the wok. The fruits and vegetables going into this dish include pineapple, tomatoes, green peppers and onions. If you are in a rush and would prefer to use store bought sweet and sour sauce that would work as well. Serve on top of white rice. Enjoy.

Ingredients:
2lbs tilapia, cod, halibut or any other whitefish (cut into 1” chunks)
1 large green pepper (cut into 1” chunks)
1 large tomato (cut into 1” chunks)
1 large onion (cut into 1” chunks)
1 can pineapple chunks (with juice)
Oil (for deep frying)
Breading-
¼ cup cornstarch
2 cups flour
6 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon seasoning salt
1 pinch cayenne pepper
2 cups water
Sweet and Sour Sauce-
½ cup vinegar
1/3 cup sugar
½ teaspoon salt
¼ cup orange juice
¼ cup pineapple juice
¼ cup ketchup
2 tablespoons cornstarch 

Cooking Instructions:

Step 1: Toss fish with cornstarch in a bowl and coat well. In another bowl whisk together flour, 6 tablespoons of oil, baking powder, seasoning salt, and cayenne pepper. A little at a time, add 2 cups of water whisking until the batter has become smooth. Pour batter over the coated fish pieces and stir to coat.  
Step 2: In a deep frying fry fish pieces in batches for 4 minutes or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels and keep warm in the oven.

Step 3: In a wok heat a tiny bit of oil. Stir fry green pepper and onions for 3 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside.
Step 4: To make sweet and sour sauce – In the wok mix vinegar, sugar, salt, orange juice, pineapple juice and ketchup. Bring to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes. Mix 2 tablespoons of cornstarch in 1/8 cup of juice, pour into the sauce and stir until sauce has thickened.  Add tomatoes and pineapple chunks to the sauce and heat.
Step 5: In a large serving dish mix fish pieces, sauce and green pepper and onions. Serve with white rice.

FISH SLICES WITH GINGER AND SPRING ONION

Stir Fried Fish Slices with Ginger and Spring Onions

Fish November 5th, 2007

Stir fried fish slices with ginger and spring onions (scallions) is a simple yet delicious dish to prepare. You can use fresh fish or frozen fish such as dory for this dish. White fish is preferred. The key to this dish is having a stove with really hot flame so that you can cook this dish fast. Cook it a little longer and it will turn a tad too soggy.

There is essentially two parts to cooking this dish. Firstly, to marinade and lightly fry the fish till it’s cooked or almost cooked. Secondly, to cook it with ginger and spring onions. Though it is usually found in commercial eateries, you can try it at home just like what I did.

This is my recipe for Stir Fried Fish Slices with Ginger and Spring Onion

Ingredients

• 200 grammes white fish (sliced to not more than 1 cm thick, marinade lightly with salt for 10 minutes and dust with corn flour)
• 5 cm ginger (sliced thinly)
• 3 stalks spring onions (cut to about 5cm lengths)
• 4 cloves garlic (chopped finely)
• 150 ml hot water
• corn starch (prepare by mixing 1 teaspoon corn flour with 3 tablespoons water)
• 200 ml cooking oil (palm oil preferred)

Seasoning

• 1 teaspoon oyster sauce
• 1/4 teaspoon salt or to taste
• a pinch of msg
• ¾ tablespoon of Chinese cooking wine
• a couple of dashes of white pepper powder

Method

Heat oil in wok till smoking hot. Fry fish slices for about 30 seconds on each side taking care not to break them. Remove fried fish slices and set aside.

Remove oil, leaving approximately 1 tablespoon or lesser in the wok. Saute garlic and ginger till aromatic. Add spring onions next. Stir evenly before adding fried fish slices and hot water.

Add seasoning followed by a teaspoon or two of corn starch to thicken the gravy.

Dish out and serve hot with steamed white rice.
