Fish and Batter

Method

Preparation of Fish

  1. 1

    Prepare the Batter

    In a bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add cold water while whisking until a smooth batter forms.

  2. 2

    Coat the Fish

    Dip the red snapper fillets into the batter, ensuring they are well coated.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Fry the Fish

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Carefully add the batter-coated fish fillets and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  2. 4

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same pan, remove excess oil, leaving about 1 tablespoon. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Then add sliced onions and bell peppers, cooking until they are tender.

  3. 5

    Combine with Sauce

    Add the sweet and sour chili sauce to the sautéed vegetables and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.

Serving

  1. 6

    Plate the Dish

    Place the crispy fried red snapper on a serving platter and top with the sautéed vegetables and sauce. Garnish with fresh Thai basil leaves.
