  • Red Bell Pepper - 1 medium, sliced
  • Green Bell Pepper - 1 medium, sliced
  • Garlic - 3 cloves, minced
  • Ginger - 1 inch, minced
  • Onion - 1 medium, sliced
  • Soy Sauce - 2 tablespoons
  • Chili Paste - 1 tablespoon
  • Cornstarch - 1 tablespoon
  • Vegetable Oil - 2 tablespoons
  • Sesame Oil - 1 teaspoon
  • Salt - to taste

Steps

  1. Start by marinating the fish fillets with soy sauce, salt, and black pepper for about 10 minutes.
  2. In a bowl, mix the chili paste with cornstarch and a tablespoon of water to create a smooth sauce.
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and ginger, sautéing for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Add the sliced onion, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper to the skillet, stirring for about 3-4 minutes until they soften.
  5. Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and add the marinated fish fillets to the other side. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until the fish is cooked through and flaky.
  6. Pour the chili sauce mixture over the fish and vegetables, stirring everything together gently to coat.
  7. Finish with a drizzle of sesame oil and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
