Ingredients

• 500g Thoai An fish fillet

• Sugar
• Fish sauce

• Ketchup
• Salt

How to Make Crispy Sweet and Sour Fish Fillet

1. Prepare the fish

Cut the fish fillet into bite-sized pieces. Rub lightly with salt to reduce any fishy smell, then rinse and pat dry.

2. Make the sweet and sour sauce

Heat a pan with cooking oil and sauté the minced garlic and chili until fragrant. Add:

• 40g sugar
• 40g ketchup
• 45ml vinegar
• 40ml fish sauce

Stir well until the sauce boils and slightly thickens, then turn off the heat.

3. Coat and fry the fish

Mix the crispy frying powder with about 100ml of warm water until smooth. Dip each piece of fish into the batter to coat evenly.

Heat about 250ml of cooking oil. Fry the fish until golden brown and crispy, then remove and drain excess oil.

4. Finish the dish

Arrange the fried fish on a plate and drizzle the sweet and sour sauce over the top. Garnish with herbs or chili if desired.

Tips for Better Results

• Fry the fish in sufficiently hot oil for an even crispy coating
• Double-fry the fish for extra crispiness
• Adjust the sweet and sour balance to suit your family’s taste
• Avoid pouring the sauce too early if you want to keep the coating crispy
