I got this recipe from here . This is the first time I’m trying this recipe. The sauce taste great, and I like that it only need a few ingredients to make. I’ve simplified the recipe abit :
1 tilapia fish
season with salt,pepper and cornflour
1 tbsp chopped garlic
Enough oil for frying
Sauce
3 tbsp fish sauce
3 1/2 tbsp freshly-squeeze lemon (about half a lemon)
3 tbsp sugar
1 tsp sesame oil
1. Fry fish until cooked and golden in colour. Dish out.
2. Fry garlic, then pour in sauce
3. Pour sauce over fish.
4. Finish!

I know the fish looks like it’s been eaten half-way, but it’s not. The fish got stuck to the wok. I had to tear it out of the wok *sigh*. I’m still getting used to using a stainless steel wok for cooking. Food get stuck to the wok alot with the stainless steel wok. I’ve been using a non-stick wok before this.
I think this recipe is a keeper. I definitely will make this dish again, but perhaps not with a tilapia fish. I think making it with kurau (sole) fish would be much nicer.
