Braised Sturgeon

This Pan-Fried Sturgeon with Aromatic Sauce is a show-stopping dish that combines tender, flaky fish with a rich, savory-sweet glaze. Fresh sturgeon is marinated in salt for enhanced flavor, then pan-fried to a golden crisp. A fragrant stir-fry of scallions, ginger, garlic, onions, and dried chili peppers builds the base of the sauce, deepened with light and dark soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, and a touch of sugar. The fish simmers in this umami-packed broth, soaking up every delicious note. Finished with a glossy starch-thickened sauce and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro or scallions, this dish delivers a perfect balance of texture and bold, layered flavors. Ideal for a special meal, this recipe highlights the sturgeon’s delicate taste while elevating it with classic Chinese aromatics and a hint of spice. A must-try for seafood lovers!
