- Rinse and pat dry fish fillets. Cut each into 2-3 even chunks and place them in a bowl. Add in marinade and set aside for 10-15 minutes. Strain the marinade into another bowl and stir in all the ingredients for the sauce.
- Heat the oil till it is bubbling, then turn heat down to about medium-low. Place fillets into the pan and cook, covered, for 3-5 minutes until cooked thoroughly. Transfer the fish on a serving plate and sprinkle the shredded red pepper and spring onion over. Pour the sauce into the skillet and bring it to a boil. Pour the sauce over the fish and serve immediately.

This recipe sounds great! Love all the spices!
5 star foodie: the fish tastes 100% Chinese and good. Just not easy to pair with wine.
