About This Recipe

This Stir-Fried Fish with Green Peppers is a quick, flavorful dish that brings together tender fish slices and crisp green peppers in a savory, slightly sweet sauce. The fish is marinated with Chinese cooking wine and starch, ensuring it stays juicy and tender during stir-frying. Lightly fried to perfection, the fish pairs beautifully with vibrant green peppers, cooked just enough to retain their crunch. A simple yet delicious sauce—seasoned with salt, sugar, and a touch of MSG—coats the ingredients, while a final drizzle of starch slurry thickens it into a glossy, mouthwatering glaze. Finished with fresh scallions, this dish is a perfect balance of textures and flavors, ideal for a speedy weeknight meal. Easy to make yet impressive in taste, it’s a must-try for lovers of homestyle Chinese cooking!
