- Pat the fish fillets dry using kitchen paper.
- Rub both sides with salt and then cut them into 3.5cm wide diagonal strips.
- Set the fish aside for 20 min then again pat them dry with kitchen paper.
- The salt will have extracted some of the excess moisture from the fish.
- Heat the oil in a wok or possibly large frying pan.
- Then brown the fish in two batches draining each cooked batch on kitchen paper.
- Drain all but 1 Tbsp. of oil from the pan and throw away the rest.
- Re heat the pan and add in the shallots (or possibly pickling onions) and ginger.
- Stir fry them for 1 minute and then add in the rest of the ingredients.
- Bring this mix to the boil then turn the heat down to a simmer.
- Return the fish to the pan cover it and braise the fish in the sauce for 23 min.
- Using a slotted spoon gently remove the fish and shallots and arrange them on a hot platter. Then pour the sauce over the top and serve with steamed rice and a fresh green vegetable.
- Onions in all forms are popular in Chinese cookery but shallots are especially prized for their distinctive flavour. I think they complement fish beautifully. If you cant get shallots for this recipe you can use pickling onions instead. A hard white fish such as cod haddock or possibly bass will work better than delicate ones such as plaice or possibly sole.
