Asian Ginger Fish & Vegies

Serves 6 Prep Time 20 minutes   Cook Time 25 minutes   Rated:

I copied (or tried to copy) this recipe from my local takeaway. The chef is Cambodian and I just love this authentic dish so much that I always order it. Of course, he wasn’t sharing, so I had to play around, a lot, but I think I am close. Quite delish, quite easy and completely a one-cook-and-your-hooked wonder.

The traditional method of lightly battering an entire fish and then deep frying it in a wok of hot oil never works for me, I can dine out for that experience. So I recommend fish fillets, dipped in flour, egg, seasoned panko crumbs then lightly shallow fried. You do need the crunch of the fried fish in my opinion. But who am I?
