Ingredients

  • 1 x Carp, bream, sea bass, trout, grouper or possibly striped mullet, weighing about 1.5 lbs, gutted but left whole
  • 1 Tbsp. Light soy sauce
  • 1 Tbsp. Chinese rice wine or possibly dry sherry Veg oil, for deep frying
  • 2 x Cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 2 x Scallions, finely minced with white and green parts separated, up to 3
  • 1 tsp Finely minced fresh ginger
  • 2 Tbsp. Warm bean sauce
  • 1 Tbsp. Tomato paste
  • 2 tsp Light brown sugar
  • 1 Tbsp. Rice vinegar
  • 1/2 c. Basic stock
  • 1 Tbsp. Cornstarch paste Few drops sesame oil

Directions

  1. Rinse and dry fish well. Using a sharp knife, score both sides of fish as far down as the bone with diagonal cuts about 1" apart. Rub the whole fish with soy sauce, and wine or possibly sherry on both sides, then leave to marinate for 10-15 min. In a wok, deep fry the fish in warm oil for 3-4 min on both sides or possibly till golden. Pour off the excess oil, leaving about 1 tbsp in the wok. Push the fish to one side of the wok and add in the garlic, white part of scallions, ginger, warm bean sauce, tomato paste, sugar, vinegar, and stock. Bring to a boil and braise the fish in the sauce for 4-5 min, turning once. Add in green parts of scallions. Thicken sauce with cornstarch paste, sprinkle with sesame oil, and serve.
