Cooking StepsHow to cook Pine Nut Mandarin Fish step by step

Step 1 Detail

Score the mandarin fish in a cross-hatch pattern and clean thoroughly. Marinate with salt, cooking wine, white pepper, scallions, and ginger for 30 minutes to remove any fishy odor.
Step 2 Detail

Pat the fish dry with kitchen paper towels. Coat thoroughly with cornstarch, making sure every nook and cranny is covered. First fry at 175°C (350°F) until lightly set. Then fry again at 200°C (390°F) until golden brown and crispy. Drain well.
Step 3 Detail

Heat oil in a wok. Add 150g ketchup, 100ml white vinegar, 150g sugar, and a pinch of salt. Stir until bubbling, then thicken with cornstarch slurry. Pour the sauce over the fried fish and garnish with pine nuts.
