Recipe
Preparation time- 5 minutes
Cooking time – 20 minutes
For 4 people
- Fish (tilapia, bassa, hake/merluza) – 4 fillets (cut in pieces).
( I used Tilapia)
- 2 medium onions – finely sliced
- 200 gms mushrooms – chopped
- 6 cloves Garlic- finely chopped
- 3 Tablespoon -Soya sauce ( Kikkoman)
- 1 Tablespoon -Rice vinegar
- Coriander leaves, finely chopped – to garnish
- Oil for cooking
- Water- 2-3 Tablespoon, to be used to prevent the onion mix sticking to the pan and making the gravy.
Method
- Heat oil in a frying pan on high heat and sauté the sliced onions and garlic for 3-4 minutes until the onions become golden brown
- Add mushrooms and stir fry on high heat for 2 minutes
- Add the soya sauce, turn the heat down, cover and simmer for 3-4 minutes. Add some water if you find the onion mix is sticking to the pan. The water also makes the gravy which makes a nice base for the dish.
- Gently add the fish pieces, mix lightly to make sure the pieces are nicely coated with the sauce mix
- Add the rice vinegar. Cover and cook on medium heat for 8 minutes.
- Garnish with coriander
Options- you can add fresh ginger, spring onions or chopped green peppers.
