Ingredients
-
1 cup oil for frying
-
1 (4 ounce) whole tilapia, cleaned and scaled
-
salt to taste
-
3 tablespoons olive oil
-
1 onion, chopped
-
2 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 red bell pepper, cut into chunks
-
1 (1 inch) piece ginger, thinly sliced crosswise, or to taste
-
1 ¼ cups water
-
1 cup distilled white vinegar
-
5 tablespoons white sugar
-
salt and ground black pepper to taste
-
1 tablespoon cornstarch
Directions
-
Heat oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
-
Pat fish dry with a paper towel. Cut 2 to 3 slits on either side of fish; sprinkle salt on top. Fry in hot oil until browned, about 2 minutes per side.
-
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté onion and garlic until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add red bell pepper and ginger; sauté until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
-
Mix water, vinegar, and sugar together in a bowl; pour into onion mixture in the skillet. Cover and bring to a boil. Cook until slightly reduced, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add cornstarch. Boil, stirring often, until sauce is thickened, about 5 minutes. Pour sauce over fish.
