Kitchen Talk:
1. The key to sweet and sour crispy fish is the bowl of sweet and sour sauce. The sweet and sour sauce can be mixed in the ratio of 2 parts sugar, 1 part vinegar, and 2 parts water to achieve the best sweetness and acidity. Of course, this ratio is not a simple formula of 1 plus 1 equal to 2, but it is based on your family’s appetite to find the ratio that suits you best.
2. When frying fish, you need to master the temperature of the oil. If it is cold, it will not be colored. If it is overheated, the outer coke and the inside will not be cooked. You must re-fry once to make the fish crispy.
