Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, garlic, and ginger. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.

    Cook the Fish

    Carefully place the seasoned swai fillets in the skillet. Cover and simmer for about 10-12 minutes or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
