Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 egg white
  • 12 ounces of freshwater fish filets
  • 1 head garlic peeled, but not crushed
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 15 small dried red hot chilies
  • 1 teaspoon sliced ginger
  • 2 teaspoon thinly-sliced scallion
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 cup chicken stock
  • Pinch of salt
  • Pinch of sugar (optional)

Instructions

  1. Beat the cornstarch and egg white together in a large bowl. Wash and dry filets and then cut into 3” x 2” pieces. Place the fish pieces in the bowl with the cornstarch and egg white. Mix and carefully coat the fish.
  2. Heat deep-fry oil to about 350° in a deep, high-sided pan. In batches, deep-fry both the garlic cloves and fish.
  3. In a wok or heavy pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the chillies to the oil and roast them to dark brown. Next, add ginger and green onion and sauté for one minute. Add the soy sauce and chicken stock and bring to a boil over high heat.
  4. Add fish. Taste and add salt. Add a pinch of sugar for very authentic finish. Arrange on plate surrounded by ring of vegetables.
