Ingredients

Instructions

1. 1

   Pat pomfret dry thoroughly with paper towels. Season with salt and white pepper.

2. 2

   Heat cooking oil in a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Pan-fry the pomfret for 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.

3. 3

   Remove fish from the pan and set aside. In the same pan, add a little more oil if needed, then sauté minced garlic, julienned ginger, and mashed salted black beans until fragrant.

4. 4

   Add tofu cubes to the pan and gently stir-fry for 2-3 minutes. Pour in the mixed sauce (light soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, water/broth). Bring to a simmer.

5. 5

   Return the pan-fried pomfret to the pan. Gently spoon sauce over the fish and tofu. Cover and simmer for 5-7 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

6. 6

   Stir in cornstarch slurry to thicken the sauce to your desired consistency. Garnish with sliced green onions and red chili (if using). Serve hot.
