Isn’t that just a feast for the eyes? Now, let’s reel in those ingredients!
Ingredients:
- 1 pound fish fillets (any white fish will do)
- 1 cup flour
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Oil for frying
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 1 bell pepper (red or green), sliced
- 1 carrot, julienned
- 1 cup pineapple chunks (canned or fresh)
- ½ cup vinegar
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 cup ketchup
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (to thicken)
Instructions:
- Begin by seasoning the fish fillets with salt and pepper. Let them sit for a few minutes while you channel your inner chef!
- In a bowl, coat the seasoned fish fillets with flour. Make sure they’re nicely dusted like it’s festive confetti!
- Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the fish until golden brown and crispy. Once they’re looking fabulous, set them aside on a paper towel to drain any excess oil.
- In a separate pan, sauté the sliced onions, bell peppers, and carrots until they’re tender. This is where the kitchen starts to smell like heaven!
- Add the pineapple chunks to the pan, and let that tropical goodness mingle with the veggies. It’s like a party in there!
- In a bowl, mix together the vinegar, sugar, ketchup, and soy sauce. Pour this delightful mixture into the pan, and stir it around like you’re trying to impress someone!
- Once the sauce is bubbling away, add the cornstarch mixture to thicken it up. Give everything a good stir and let it simmer for a couple of minutes. Trust us, this step is vital for achieving that glossy, mouth-watering look!
- Finally, gently add the fried fish back into the pan, letting it soak up all that sweet and sour goodness. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, and voila!
Serve your sensational Sweet and Sour Fish over rice, and prepare for a culinary experience that will make you the star of the dinner table! Enjoy every bite, and remember to share… if you want to, that is!
