Spicy cod fish is a beloved dish, celebrated for its tender flakes and bold, numbing flavors. Here’s a simple yet delicious recipe to recreate it at home.
Ingredients: 500g cod fillet (cut into cubes), 2 tbsp Sichuan peppercorns, 3 dried chilies, 2 garlic cloves, 1 ginger slice, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp oyster sauce, 1 tsp sugar, 1 cup vegetable oil, and chopped scallions for garnish.
Steps:
1. Marinate the cod: Toss cod cubes with 1 tbsp soy sauce, a pinch of salt, and cornstarch. Let sit for 15 minutes.
2. Prepare the sauce: Heat 1 tbsp oil in a wok, stir-fry ginger, garlic, and dried chilies until fragrant. Add Sichuan peppercorns and stir for 30 seconds.
3. Cook the fish: Deep-fry marinated cod until golden, then drain excess oil. Return to the wok, add soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sugar. Toss gently to coat.
4. Finish and serve: Drizzle with remaining hot oil to enhance aroma, garnish with scallions, and serve hot with steamed rice.
For a healthier twist, steam the marinated cod first, then stir-fry with the sauce. Adjust spice levels by reducing chilies or adding chili oil. This versatile dish guarantees a fiery, satisfying meal that balances heat and umami perfectly.
