Instructions
 

  • #Szechuan food is hot and this recipe makes a wonderfully zippy fish dish.# Cut fish into 2 x 1-inch oblong pieces. Rub with salt. Blend the cornstarch with the egg. Dip the fish in the egg mixture to coat on both sides.
  • Thinly slice the onion. Finely chop the garlic, ginger, chilies, pickle and dried chili.
  • Heat 4 tbsps oil in a large frying pan. Add the onion and other chopped vegetables and stir-fry for 2 minutes.
  • Add the stock, soy sauce, paste, Hoisin sauce, sugar, vinegar, and sherry. Stir over a high heat until well reduced.
  • Heat about 4 cups oil in a deep fryer. When hot, add the fish and fry for 2 minutes. Remove and drain.
  • Place them in the pan of sauce. Simmer in the sauce for 5 minutes before serving. #TlME# Preparation takes 10 minutes, cooking takes 10 minutes. #COOK’S TIP# If you cannot obtain the Ja Chai pickle, substitute your favorite hot pickle.
