Ingredients

  • White fish fillets (e.g., cod or tilapia) - 200 grams
  • Sichuan peppercorns - 1 teaspoon
  • Chili powder - 1 teaspoon
  • Garlic powder - 1/2 teaspoon
  • Ginger powder - 1/2 teaspoon
  • Soy sauce - 1 tablespoon
  • Lime juice - 1 tablespoon
  • Cornstarch - 2 tablespoons
  • Vegetable oil - 3 tablespoons (for frying)
  • Corn tortillas - 4 small
  • Cabbage (finely shredded) - 1 cup
  • Fresh cilantro (chopped) - 1/4 cup
  • Sour cream or yogurt - 2 tablespoons
  • Sriracha sauce - 1 tablespoon (optional)

Steps

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the Sichuan peppercorns, chili powder, garlic powder, ginger powder, soy sauce, lime juice, and cornstarch to create a marinade.
  2. Add the fish fillets to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Let them marinate for about 15 minutes.
  3. Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the marinated fish fillets and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  4. While the fish is cooking, warm the corn tortillas in a separate pan or microwave until soft.
  5. Once the fish is cooked, remove it from the skillet and let it rest for a minute before flaking it into bite-sized pieces.
  6. To assemble the tacos, place a portion of flaked fish on each tortilla, top with shredded cabbage, chopped cilantro, and a drizzle of sour cream or yogurt. Add Sriracha sauce if desired.
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy your Sichuan Style Fish Tacos!
