Szechuan Sea Bass
- 1 tbsp veg oil
- 4 cloves of garlic, finely sliced
- 2 tbsp chopped ginger
- 2 finely chopped chillies
- 4 chopped spring onions
- 2 tbsp chilli paste
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp rice wine vinegar
- 110ml chicken stock
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 4 x sea bass or bream fillets
- Stir-fried vegetables, to serve
- Preheat your oven to 200C. Heat up the veg oil in a wok, and toss in the garlic, ginger, chillies, and spring onions, and stir fry for 3-4 minutes to soften. Add the chilli paste, vinegar, soy sauce, and chicken stock, and cook for another few minutes to bring to a simmer. Pour in the sesame oil, allow the mixture to slightly thicken, then remove from the heat.
- Slather the sauce you’ve just made all over your sea bass fillets, and then pop them on a baking tray and cook in the oven for 15-20 minutes. When cooked, serve on a bed of stir-fried veg, with a good drizzle of your sauce over the top.
