Sweet and Sour Fish (comparable to The Restaurant's Super Simple and High-value)
1.
Dispose of the fish and use kitchen paper towels to soak up the surface moisture.
2.
Cut the fish diagonally with a knife, cut as deep as possible but don't cut it off.
3.
Coat the fish with starch, pick up the fish and shake off the excess starch. Just leave a thin layer, so the fish skin must be wiped dry in the previous step.
4.
The oil is hot, and the amount of oil is slightly more than usual for stir-frying. Slide the fish into the oil and fry on medium heat until golden on both sides. Be sure to wait for one side to be set and then turn the other side. If there is no oil, you can tilt the wok slightly and use a spoon to pour the oil on the fish.
5.
Fry both sides and place them on kitchen towels to absorb oil.
6.
Leave only a little oil in the pan, add tomato sauce, Thai sweet chili sauce and white sugar and stir fry. The ratio is 2:2:1.
7.
Stir fry until bubbling (as shown in the picture) and add a small bowl of water.
8.
Bring the water to a boil, add some salt to taste, put the fish in a pot on high heat and continue cooking.
9.
Use a spoon to continuously pour the juice on the fish body where the soup can't be touched, so there is no need to turn the fish over to prevent it from breaking the shape. You can tilt the pot when the soup is about to dry.
10.
The soup is sticky and turn off the heat. Ketchup, sweet chili sauce and white sugar have a viscous effect, so there is no need to thicken.
11.
This face value is simply exploding.
12.
Share a photo trick, pour the soup on the surface of the fish body to make the finished product look more appetizing.
13.
The two seasonings used are Lee Kum Kee Thai Sweet Chili Sauce and Heinz Ketchup.
