Ingredients
- 500 grams White fish fillets (e.g., cod, tilapia, or basa)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, minced
- 1 Green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 Red bell pepper, sliced
- 3 tablespoons Oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 3 tablespoons Water
- 2 Spring onions, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Cut the white fish fillets into bite-sized pieces, about 2 inches each. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
Step 2
Season the fish pieces with salt and ground black pepper, then lightly coat them with cornstarch. Set aside.
Step 3
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Step 4
Pan-fry the fish pieces in batches until they are golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the fish and set aside on a plate lined with paper towels.
Step 5
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Reduce heat to medium.
Step 6
Add the minced garlic and ginger to the skillet, stirring until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Step 7
Add the sliced green and red bell peppers to the skillet. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they start to soften.
Step 8
In a small bowl, mix the oyster sauce, soy sauce, sugar, and water to make the sauce. Pour this mixture into the skillet with the vegetables and stir well.
Step 9
Return the cooked fish to the skillet and gently toss everything together, ensuring the fish is coated in the sauce. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to heat through.
Step 10
Turn off the heat and garnish with chopped spring onions before serving.
Step 11
Serve the stir fried fish with steamed white rice or noodles for a complete meal.
