Sweet and sour sea bass is a beloved dish that balances tangy, sweet, and savory flavors with a crispy texture. Here’s a step-by-step guide to perfecting it at home.
Ingredients: 1 whole sea bass (about 500g), 2 tbsp cornstarch, 1 egg, 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar, ½ cup vinegar, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 cup water, 1 tomato, 1 bell pepper, 3 garlic cloves, ginger, and green onions.
Instructions:
1. Prepare the fish: Clean the sea bass, score the flesh diagonally, and pat dry. Mix egg and cornstarch, then coat the fish evenly. Dust with flour and deep-fry at 180°C until golden and crispy (5-7 minutes). Drain excess oil.
2. Make the sauce: Heat oil in a pan, sauté garlic, ginger, and chopped vegetables until fragrant. Add sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, and water; simmer for 3 minutes until slightly thickened.
3. Combine: Pour the sauce over the crispy fish, garnish with green onions, and serve hot with steamed rice.
Tips: For extra crunch, double-dust the fish with flour. Adjust sugar-vinegar ratio to taste. Pair with a light salad for a balanced meal. Enjoy this restaurant-quality dish at home!
