Method

  1. 1

    Pat the fish dry and dust lightly all over with cornflour.

  2. 2

    Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat and fry the fish for 2–3 minutes each side until golden and just cooked. Remove and set aside.

  3. 3

    Add the garlic, ginger and half the spring onion to the pan and stir-fry for 30 seconds.

  4. 4

    Add the soy sauces, vinegar, sugar and stock, bring to a simmer and cook for 2 minutes until slightly thickened.

  5. 5

    Return the fish to the pan, spoon the sauce over and simmer for 1–2 minutes to heat through.

  6. 6

    Taste and adjust the seasoning.

  7. 7

    Scatter with the remaining spring onion and serve with rice.

Use up the rest

Cooking this for one leaves 6 spring onions, 80 g white fish fillet and 100 g cooked rice. These recipes finish them off, so plan one later in the same week.

Good with the rest of your week
