Stir-fried Louhe Fish

This delicious pan-fried fish recipe is a flavorful and aromatic dish that’s quick to prepare yet impressive to serve. Fresh fish is seasoned with salt, then pan-fried to golden perfection with garlic, ginger, and green onions for a fragrant base. A savory sauce made with light soy sauce, cornstarch, and peanut oil adds a glossy, umami-rich glaze, while colorful green and red peppers bring a subtle crunch and mild heat. The fish is beautifully tender inside with a lightly crisp exterior, finished with a drizzle of the remaining sauce and a sprinkle of fresh green onions for a vibrant touch. Perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion, this dish highlights the natural sweetness of the fish with bold, balanced flavors that will delight every palate.
