Sweet and Sour Fish

Serves 4

Cod or sole would be great choices for this recipe. Garnish the fish with lemon wedges and fresh cilantro before serving.

Need:

  • 1 pound white fish fillets
  • ½ red bell pepper, seeded and cut into bite sized pieces
  • ½ green bell pepper, seeded and cut into bite sized pieces
  • Simple sweet and sour sauce (see recipe)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or peanut oil
  • 4 thin slices of ginger
  • 2 green onions cut into thirds
  • 1 ½ tablespoons soy sauce
  • Black pepper to taste
  1. Rinse the fish fillets, pat dry, and cut into bite sized pieces.
  2. Add the chopped bell peppers to the sauce. Warm the sauce on low heat while cooking the fish.
  3. Heat a wok or skillet over medium high heat until it is almost smoking. Add the oil. When the oil is hot, add the ginger slices and the chopped green onions. Stir fry for abut 10 seconds, and then add the fish cubes. Stir fry the fish cubes until they are opaque. Splash with soy sauce and continue cooking, stirring gently, until the fish cubes are cooked through. Season with black pepper if desired.
  4. Bring the sweet and sour sauce to a boil, stirring. Pour over the stir fried fish and serve.
