Sweet Sour Fish

*recipe from home :D

INGREDIENTS

One onion -  slice into rings or half rings
One tomato- cut into wedges
One third Carrot- cut into strips
One third Cucumber - remove skin - Cut into half and then quarter  lengthwise, remove the centre(seeds)- cut into strips like carrot
[I usually don’t bother adding it lol]

2 dessertspoons Tomato sauce
1 dessertspoon chilli sauce
1 teaspoon oyster sauce(optional)
A slice of lemon or one lime- squeeze the juice( can use  vinegar instead)
One tablespoon Tapioca or corn flour mix with water

INSTRUCTIONS

Heat up the wok
Add enough oil for frying the fish
Fry fish until golden brown on both sides
Remove from the wok.
Turn off the flame.
Remove some oil from the wok after frying the fish.
Leave enough for preparing the sauce.
Turn on the flame.
Saute the garlic till light brown
Add in the onion, carrot and tomato, Stir fry. add tomato sauce and chilli sauce( and oyster sauce)
Add in salt to taste. Add water to slightly cover the whole mixture
Add a bit of sugar
Add lemon or lime juice( or vinegar)
Add in the cucumber, continue stirring
Thicken gravy with starch solution.(Just enough so that the gravy can still flow when u test with spoon)
Dish up gravy and put on top of the fish.

It’s a sweet and sour dish, so it’s really nice if served with oranges. (especially Florida oranges, heavenly). Balance it out with cool vegetables.
