Fried fish with sliced ginger and soy sauce
Print This Post
This is an easy dish that you would find in most Chinese households. I however, have only just tried it out for myself after watching my Mom cooking it so I felt it was worthy of a post 
You need:
- 1 whole fish - rubbed with fine salt
- Ginger sliced into strips
- Soy sauce
- Oil for frying the fish
How to:
- If you are frying a whole fish, fill the frying pan or wok about halfway with oil and heat it up. Then fry the fish till its cooked and crispy. A rule of thumb I use when I fry fish is to fry each side untl I don’t hear so much popping in the oil. That usually tells me its about done.
- When the fish is cooked and crispy, remove from the oil and remove all the oil from the wok except for 1 teapoonful.
- In this teaspoonful of oil, fry the ginger slices until they are fragrant and starting to turn brown.
- Turn off the fire, stir some soy sauce through it, the scoop over the fried fish.
I usually use a small grouper or sea bass but it works with most white fleshed fish that don’t have a strong smell or taste. It might even work with fish fillets.
Serve with hot rice and stir-fried vegetable for a simple homecooked asian meal.

Wow, you make it sound so easy! I am terrified of cooking fish. I don’t know why. The furthest I would go is doing up some fish fingers.. I may have to venture in deep deep water with your recipe.. once I am back in Italia.. *sigh*
