Braised Fish - Chinese Style

A quick & easy Chinese fish recipe,great on its' own
or as part of a Chinese banquet

1. 1

   1 Lay fish fillets on a plate & sprinkle with salt.Set
   aside for 20 mins (this draws out some of the moisture
   & firms up the fish)
   
   2 Pat fish dry ,then cut into diagonal strips , about
   1.5" wide.
   
   3 Heat oil in a wok or large frying pan , add the fish
   & stir fry for 2-3 mins until it begins to turn
   opaque (you may need to do this in 2 batches)
   
   4 Remove fish from pan & drain on kitchen paper.
   
   5 Return pan to heat & add shallots & ginger.Stir fry
   for 1 min then add rest of the ingredients and bring
   to the boil.
   
   6 Reduce heat to a simmer,return fish to pan , then cover
   & braise for 2-3 mins.
   
   7 Serve with plain rice & a green vegetable (I like to
   use Broccoli), using the braising liquid as a sauce.
