Ingredients
Scale
Sea Bass and Marinade
- 1 sea bass fillet, cut into pieces
- Salt and pepper to taste
Sauce and Aromatics
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil
- 1 tablespoon minced ginger
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 2 stalks green onions, chopped
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon sugar
Instructions
- Marinate Sea Bass: Season the sea bass pieces with salt and pepper and let them marinate for 15 minutes to enhance flavor.
- Heat Oil: Heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the oil is shimmering, indicating it’s ready for frying.
- Fry Sea Bass: Fry the marinated sea bass pieces in the hot oil until they are golden brown on both sides, then remove and set aside.
- Sauté Aromatics: In the same skillet, add the minced ginger and garlic, sautéing for about 30 seconds until fragrant but not burnt.
- Add Green Onions: Stir in the chopped green onions and cook for another 30 seconds to release their aroma.
- Combine and Glaze: Return the fried sea bass pieces to the skillet and stir in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sugar, mixing well to coat the fish evenly with the savory glaze.
- Adjust Seasoning and Serve: Taste the dish and adjust salt and pepper if necessary, then serve immediately while hot.
Notes
- Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying to achieve a crispy texture on the sea bass.
- Do not overcook the fish during frying to keep it tender and moist inside.
- You can substitute oyster sauce with hoisin sauce for a slightly different flavor profile.
- Serve with steamed rice or stir-fried vegetables for a complete meal.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 2 days but are best enjoyed fresh.
