Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Mandarin fish has thick, plump flesh, so cooking over high heat may burn the outside before the inside is done. Use medium-low heat to cook it through gently.
  • If the sugar settles at the bottom, the sauce won't be harmonious, so make sure to dissolve it completely when mixing with the liquid ingredients.
  • Hot oil may splatter, so wear long kitchen gloves for safety when basting the fish.

Recommended for

  • Those wanting to recreate the sweet, sour, and spicy fried fish dishes from local Southeast Asian restaurants.
  • Asian food lovers who enjoy the distinctive savory flavor of cilantro and fish sauce.
