Ingredients:
  • 125ml (1/2 cup) vegetable oil
  • 1 large red onion, halved, thinly sliced
  • 2 large fresh red chillies, thinly sliced
  • 1 stem lemon grass, pale section only, thinly sliced
  • 4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • 3.5cm-piece fresh ginger, peeled, cut into matchsticks
  • 60ml (1/4 cup) water

  • 10.00 gm caster sugar
  • 10.60 gm fresh lime juice
  • 800g skin-on white fish fillets (such as snapper)

Instructions:
  • In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, sauté the onion in half the oil until soft, stirring frequently for 3-4 minutes.
  • Add the chili, lemongrass, garlic, and ginger. Sauté for 2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in water, soy sauce, sugar, and lime juice. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute until sugar is dissolved. Season with salt and pepper. Keep warm by covering.
