Gul Tangsuyuk

Gul Tangsuyuk is a delightful Korean seafood dish featuring crispy fried fish and vegetables, coated in a sweet and tangy sauce. This kosher adaptation uses fresh ingredients to create a satisfying balance of flavors and textures.

Ingredients

• White fish fillets (like cod or halibut) - 200 grams
• Cornstarch - 60 grams
• Egg - 1 large
• Vegetable oil - 250 ml (for frying)
• Carrot - 1 medium, julienned
• Red bell pepper - 1 medium, julienned
• Green bell pepper - 1 medium, julienned
• Onion - 1 small, sliced
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, minced
• Soy sauce (kosher) - 2 tablespoons
• Rice vinegar - 2 tablespoons
• Sugar - 1 tablespoon
• Water - 100 ml
• Sesame oil - 1 teaspoon
• Cornstarch (for thickening) - 1 tablespoon
• Green onion - 1 stalk, chopped (for garnish)

Steps

1. Cut the fish fillets into bite-sized pieces and season lightly with salt and pepper.
2. In a bowl, beat the egg and combine it with the cornstarch to form a batter.
3. Dip each piece of fish into the batter, ensuring it is well-coated.
4. Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Once hot, fry the fish pieces until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
5. In another pan, add a little oil and sauté the garlic and ginger until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
6. Add the julienned vegetables (carrot, red and green bell peppers, and onion) and stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until slightly softened.
7. In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, water, and cornstarch until smooth.
8. Pour the sauce mixture over the sautéed vegetables, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens, about 2 minutes.
9. Add the fried fish to the pan and gently toss to coat with the sauce.
10. Drizzle with sesame oil and garnish with chopped green onion before serving.
