Instructions

  1. Wash the fish well and make 3 incisions on both sides. Then soak the fish in the marinade for at least 1 hour.
  2. In the meantime, mix the ingredients together for the sauce.
  3. Brush the fish with egg yolks and fry in hot oil, about 4-6 minutes on each side.
  4. Place the fish on a plate and cover with foil.
  5. Fry the shallots and garlic in the oil, add the sauce mixture and allow to thicken.
  6. Add the peas, chopped peppers and pineapple and cook. Pour the sauce over the fish and serve.
  7. * If several dishes are served, as is usually the case with Chinese dishes, 1 fish is sufficient. But if it is a separate dish, 2 fish should be fried.

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
