Chilli Fish is one of amma's specialty Indo-Chinese Recipes. Like I mentioned in the fried rice recipe post, amma is an expert in making manchurian and related recipes. There's really no secret sauce (literally!) to her recipes, they just work excellently and this Chilli Fish is no exception. Maybe those of you who are off lent tomorrow can try Chilli Fish for Easter lunch?
We also make the same dish with Prawns and call it Chinese Fried Prawns. That's a dish from my childhood that I have fond memories of. You can serve the batter-fried prawns with ketchup as a starter or go on to make Chilli Prawns with it following the recipe below. Either ways, it's delicious. PS: the pic above is of Chilli Prawns.
Although Indo-Chinese sauces are easily available in Singapore, I find that the Indian brands like Sil or Ching's Secret (I am guessing that's an Indian brand) seem to work better for me and taste more "authentic" like you get in Indo-Chinese restaurants in India.
I have had a few failures when making manchurian and chilli something but after this Gobi Manchurian recipe, flops are history. I learnt from the best (my sister makes amazing manchurian too) after all!
INDIAN CHINESE CHILLI FISH RECIPE
Ingredients:
250 gm of cut into small cubes, deboned fish (any fish with a firm flesh would do, or use deveined prawns)
3 tbsp + 1 tsp of cornflour / corn starch
3 tbsp of maida / plain flour
1 tsp + 1 tsp of ginger garlic paste
1 tsp of black pepper powder
1 capsicum / bell pepper, cubed
1 onion, cubed
1/2 to 1 tbsp of soya sauce
1 tsp of green chilli sauce
1 tsp of tomato sauce
A small bunch of spring onions or coriander leaves, chopped fine
How to Make Chilli Fish
Make a thick batter of 3 tbsp cornflour + flour + 1 tsp ginger garlic paste + salt + pepper powder + water
Dip the fish pieces in this and shallow fry in oil until golden brown (in small batches without crowding the pan)
Drain and set aside
In the same oil, add the onions and capsicum. When the onions start to turn pink, add the ginger garlic paste and saute until fragrant
Turn heat to high and add the soya sauce, chilli sauce and tomato sauce (keep them ready by your side to prevent the rest of the dish burning)
Mix well and reduce heat. Add the fried fish pieces
Mix well and cook on low heat. Meanwhile, mix the 1 tsp cornflour in 4 tbsp water without lumps. Add to the fish mixture and cook until the sauce thickens and coats the fish
Add chopped coriander leaves or spring onions and remove from stove
Serve hot with fried rice
Sweet and Sour Fish Recipe
Ingredients:
1 pound fish fillets, such as cod, haddock, or sea bass
Marinade:
1 teaspoon salt
1 large egg white
1 tablespoon cornstarch
Sauce:
1 cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon light soy sauce
1 tablespoon Chinese rice wine or dry sherry
2 tablespoons tomato paste
3 tablespoons rice vinegar, or red or white wine
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water
Other:
4 ounces mangetout (snow peas)
1 red bell pepper
1 tablespoon ginger, finely chopped
2 tablespoons green onions, chopped diagonally
2 - 4 cups oil for deep-frying
Preparation:
Rinse the fish fillets and pat dry. Cut into 2-inch squares. Add the fish to the marinade ingredients, using your fingers to mix in the ingredients and adding the cornstarch last. Marinate the fish for 15 minutes.
While the fish is marinating, prepare the sauce and vegetables. In a small bowl, mix together the chicken broth, soy sauce, rice wine or sherry, tomato paste, vinegar and sugar. In a separate small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in the water.
Blanch the snow peas in boiling water until they turn bright green. Plunge briefly in cold water. Drain thoroughly. Cut the bell pepper in half, remove the seeds and cut into cubes.
Heat the oil to between 360 and 370 degrees Fahrenheit. Add the marinated fish cubes. Deep-fry until they are golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Remove all but 2 tablespoons oil from the wok. Add the ginger and green onion and stir-fry until aromatic (about 30 seconds). Add the snow peas. Stir fry for a minute and add the red bell peppers.
Push the vegetables up to the sides of the wok and add the sauce in the middle. Bring to a boil. Add the cornstarch and water mixture, stirring to thicken. Serve the fish on a platter, covered with the sweet and sour sauce and vegetables.
