Ingredients

– 1 sea bream (2 if they are small), you can also use red snapper which is also very tasty;
– 20 g of soft wheat flour;
– 1 onion;
– 3 cloves of garlic;
– 4 fresh chillies;
– Olive oil as needed;
– Condiments: fish sauce, soy sauce, monosodium glutamate, sugar, pepper, paprika and satay.

Depending on your taste, you can add less or more onion, garlic and chili pepper.

Preparation

Gut and scale the fish (I use white wine and salt to rub the fish) then rinse and let dry.
When the fish is dry enough use the flour to coat it; this will form, during cooking, a thin crispy layer all over the body.

The next step is to heat some oil in a pan; when it is hot enough, put the fish in and fry it on both sides until golden brown.
To cook the fish evenly without burning it, reduce the heat to very low, let the fish cook inside too.
Separately prepare a spicy and sour sauce: onions, garlic, chili pepper are crushed and finely chopped, then add: 1.5 tablespoons of fish sauce, 1 teaspoon of soy sauce, 2/3 teaspoon of sugar, 1/3 teaspoon of monosodium glutamate powder, 1/3 teaspoon of chili powder and 1 teaspoon of satay; add 1 tablespoon of water and mix well.
After the fish is fried until golden brown, sprinkle it evenly with the hot and sour sauce and continue cooking for another 2 minutes or so (you see that the mixture thickens well).
You taste it again to see if the seasoning is right for your taste and that's it.
Then put it on a plate and decorate it in a way that attracts attention and enjoy. I had it with an omelette, soup and of course white rice.
Don't forget to sprinkle some pepper to taste!
Good luck.
