Tofu and Fish Block in Spicy Sauce

This delicious stir-fried grass carp recipe is bursting with bold flavors and tender textures. Fresh grass carp is marinated with scallions, ginger, lemon, and a savory blend of seasonings for 30 minutes to enhance its natural taste. Lightly coated in cornstarch, the fish is pan-fried to golden perfection, creating a crispy exterior while keeping the meat juicy inside. Aromatic star anise and cinnamon infuse depth into the dish, while tofu soaks up the rich sauce made with light soy sauce, oyster sauce, and a hint of sweetness. Vibrant green and red peppers add a fresh, slightly spicy finish. Perfectly balanced between savory and fragrant, this dish is a standout meal that pairs wonderfully with steamed rice. Quick to prepare yet full of complex flavors, this stir-fry is a must-try for seafood lovers!
