Sweet and sour fish fillets are a beloved dish, crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and coated in a tangy, glossy sauce. Here’s a simple guide to recreate this restaurant favorite at home.
Ingredients:
- 2 fish fillets (like cod or tilapia), cut into chunks
- 1 cup flour, 1 egg (for batter)
- 2 tbsp oil (for frying)
- Sauce: 3 tbsp ketchup, 2 tbsp vinegar, 1 tbsp sugar, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 cup water
- Optional: Bell peppers, onions, pineapple chunks
Steps:
1. Prepare the fish: Rinse fillets, pat dry, and season with salt. Dip in beaten egg, then coat in flour. Deep-fry at 180°C until golden (3-4 minutes). Drain oil.
2. Make the sauce: Mix ketchup, vinegar, sugar, soy sauce, and water in a pan. Bring to a simmer, stirring until sugar dissolves. Add veggies/pineapple if using; cook for 2 minutes.
3. Combine: Pour the sauce over the crispy fish fillets. Toss gently to coat evenly. Simmer for 1 minute to let flavors meld.
4. Serve: Garnish with sesame seeds or green onions. Enjoy hot with rice!
Tips: For extra crispiness, double-dip the fish in flour-egg batter. Adjust sweetness or tanginess to your taste. This versatile dish works with other proteins like chicken or tofu too!
