Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 1 whole fish (such as tilapia or sea bream), cleaned and scored

For the Sauce:

  • 3 tablespoons oil
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon chili bean paste (doubanjiang or sambal oelek)
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/2 cup chicken or fish stock
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 1 red chili, sliced
  • 1 bunch spring onions, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat oil: Heat oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Sear both sides of the fish until lightly golden, about 2 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
  2. Sauté aromatics: In the same pan, sauté garlic, ginger, and chili until fragrant.
  3. Add sauce ingredients: Add soy sauce, oyster sauce, chili bean paste, sugar, and vinegar. Stir well.
  4. Simmer: Pour in stock and bring the sauce to a simmer. Gently return the fish to the pan, spoon sauce over the top, and cover. Simmer for 10–15 minutes until the fish is cooked through.
  5. Season and garnish: Uncover, taste and adjust seasoning. Sprinkle generously with chopped spring onions.
  6. Serve: Serve hot with steamed rice.
