Best Marinated Sweet And Sour Fish Recipes

MARINATED SWEET AND SOUR FISH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 F/190°C.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large ovenproof frying pan or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onions and coriander seeds and cook for 5 minutes, stirring often. Add the peppers and cook for a further 10 minutes. Add the garlic, bay, curry powder, and tomatoes, and cook another 8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the sugar, vinegar, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, some black pepper, and continue to cook another 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 tablespoons oil in a separate frying pan over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the fish with some salt, dip in the seasoned flour to coat, then in the eggs. Fry about 3 minutes, turning once. Transfer the fish to paper towels to absorb the extra oil, then add to the pan with the peppers and onions, pushing the vegetables aside so the fish sits on the bottom of the pan. Add enough water just to immerse the fish (about 1 cup/250 ml) in the liquid.
• Place the pan in the oven for 10-12 minutes, until the fish is cooked. Remove from the oven and leave to cool to room temperature. The fish can now be served, but it is actually better after a day or two in the fridge. Before serving, taste and add salt and pepper, if needed, and garnish with the cilantro.

SWEET AND SOUR SAUCE FISH

• In a bowl, combine pineapple juice, vinegar, ketchup, sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Stir until smooth.
• In a pan over medium heat, heat about 1 tablespoon oil. Add bell peppers and onions and cook, stirring regularly, until half cooked. Remove from pan and set aside.

SWEET, SALTY, AND SOUR MARINADE

Steps:

• Stir palm sugar and 3 tablespoons water in a small saucepan over low heat until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat.
• Combine lime juice, fish sauce, and 3 tablespoons water in a medium bowl. Whisk in 1/3 cup palm sugar syrup (reserve remaining syrup for glaze). Stir in cilantro, ginger, chiles, and lemongrass. Put pork or seafood in a glass, stainless-steel, or ceramic dish. Toss with marinade. Cover; chill for at least 3 hours or overnight.
• Remove pork or seafood from marinade, pat dry, and grill.
• The finish:
• Simmer marinade and reserved palm sugar syrup in a small saucepan until reduced to 3/4 cup. Brush glaze onto meat or fish during the last few minutes of grilling.

SWEET AND SOUR FISH FILLETS

Steps:

• Bring a wok or large pot filled halfway with water to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Divide the fish between 2 plates that will fit into the basket layers of a bamboo steamer. Sprinkle the fish with sea salt and freshly ground white pepper. Drizzle 1 to 2 tablespoons of the pineapple juice over each plate of fish. Place the plates into the steamer, cover and set on top of the simmering water. Steam the fish until the flesh turns white and pulls apart easily, 7 to 8 minutes. Remove the steamer basket from the wok and set aside, keeping the fish covered.
• For the sauce: Place a wok over high heat and when the wok is hot, add the oil. Add the garlic and ginger and cook until fragrant, less than 1 minute. Add the red peppers and onions and toss to cook until tender, another minute. Add the pineapple chunks and their juice. Add the vinegar, soy sauce and brown sugar. Cook until the sauce thickens a bit 1 to 2 more minutes.
• Remove the fish to a platter. Season the sauce if needed and pour over the fish. Garnish with the sliced scallion.

SWEET AND SOUR FISH

Steps:

• Stir the fish sauce, sugar, and lime juice together, set aside. In another bowl, mix the ginger, lemongrass, and scallion whites, together set aside.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 1/2 tablespoons peanut oil to the skillet and season the fish with pepper. Stir-fry half of the lemongrass mixture and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Lay 2 of the fish fillets, rounded side or skin side down and cook until browned and a spatula can easily be slipped under the fish, about 2 to 2 1/2 minutes. Flip the fish; add half the fish sauce mixture and half of the scallion greens. Cook the fish, swirling the pan, to coat the fish as the liquid thickens into a syrupy sauce, about 2 minutes.
• Transfer fish to a platter and repeat with remaining ingredients. Wipe or wash out skillet before starting the second batch. Scatter the tomatoes and basil or cilantro over the fish and serve.

• Put the fish in a bowl. Sprinkle over the five-spice powder and soy sauce, then toss gently.
• Cover and leave to marinate for about 30 minutes.
• Dip the fish in the egg, then in the cornflour, shaking off any excess.
• Half-fill a wok with oil and heat to 190oc. Deep fry the fish in batches for about 2 minutes until golden.
• Drain and keep warm. Carefully pour off all the oil from the wok and wipe clean.
• To make the sauce, blend together in a bowl the cornflour, water, pineapple juice, rice vinegar, sugar, soy sauce, ketchup and rice wine or sherry. Miz well then set aside.
• Heat the wok until hot. Add 2 teaspoons of the oil and swirl it around. Add the garlic and ginger and stir-fry for a few seconds. Add the spring onions and green capsicum and stir-fry over a medium heat for 2 minutes. Add pineapple.
• Pour in the sauce and cook, stirring until thickened. Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and add seasoning to taste.
• Pour the sauce over the fish and serve at once.
