Instructions

Prepare the batter ingredients by combining and mixing all the dry ingredients before adding water. Mix well.

Soak the fish fillet into the batter mixture for 10 minutes.

Heat 2 cups of cooking oil in a wok.

Take a slice of fish fillet out of the batter, let the excess bater drip, and then roll it over Good Life Breadcrumbs until completely coated. Perform this step for all fish fillets.

Deep-fry the breaded fish until the color of the breading turns golden brown. Remove from the wok and let the excess oil drip. Arrange in a clean plate. Set aside. (see notes below)

Make the sweet and sour sauce by heating 3 tablespoons of oil in a wok (you can re-use the oil from the fried fish). Sauté the garlic until it starts to brown. Add the onion, ginger, carrot, and bell peppers, pineapple, and sesame oil. Continue sautéing for 30 seconds.

Pour vinegar and water. Let it boil.

Add the ketchup and sugar. Stir until it dilutes completely.

Combine cornstarch with 3 tablespoons of water. Mix well and then pour into the sauce. Stir until the sauce thickens.

Add the fried fish fillet. Season with salt and ground black pepper.

Transfer to a serving plate. Serve. Share and enjoy!
