About This Recipe
This crispy yet tender flounder recipe is a showstopper, combining golden-fried fish with a rich, aromatic sauce.

Then, a fragrant stir-fry of scallions, ginger, and garlic builds the base of a savory-sweet glaze, enhanced with cooking wine and a touch of sugar. The fish simmers in this luscious sauce until the flavors meld and the glaze thickens, creating a dish that’s crispy on the outside, succulent inside, and bursting with umami depth. Perfect for impressing guests or enjoying a restaurant-quality meal at home, this flounder recipe balances texture and taste in every bite. Quick to prepare yet elegant, it’s a must-try for seafood lovers!
