Sweet And Sour Pinecone Fish
Ingredients
- 1 firm white fish fillet (about 1/2 pound) with skin intact, such as striped bass or mullet, about 1-inch thick
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- Cooking oil, for deep-frying
- 1/2 small onion, diced
- 1/4 cup diced pineapple
- 1/2 cup toasted pine nuts
- MARINADE:
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
- SAUCE:
- 1/3 cup rice vinegar
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons chili garlic sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
Directions
- Score skinless side of fish with shallow diagonal cuts; score again at a 90 degree angle to the first cuts. Cut fillet into 3 inch squares.
- Combine marinade ingredients in a bowl and add fish; turn to coat. Let stand for 10 minutes.
- Combine sauce ingredients in a bowl; set aside.
- Dip fish squares in egg, drain briefly, then coat with flour. Shake to remove excess.
- Heat oil in a wok to 375 degrees F. Deep-fry fish, turning once, until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. Keep warm.
- Place another wok over medium-high heat until hot. Add 1 tablespoon oil, swirling to coat sides. Add onion; cook, stirring, until softened, about 10 seconds. Add pineapple and sauce and cook, stirring, until sauce thickens, about 1 minute.
- To serve, arrange fish on a serving plate. Pour sauce over fish and sprinkle with pine nuts.
