Ingredients:

1 fish (such as sea bass, tilapia, red snapper or other white fish) cleaned, scaled and sliced
Salt and pepper
Cooking oil
Ginger, sliced
Garlic, minced
Green onions, chopped
Red chili peppers, sliced (optional)
Soy sauce
Rice wine or dry sherry

Instructions:

Prepare the fish: Rinse the sea bass fillets and pat them dry. Season with salt and pepper.

Pan-fry the fish: Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the fillets skin-side down and cook for 3-4 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden brown. Flip the fillets and cook for
another 1-2 minutes until cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Sauté aromatics: Add a bit more oil to the pan, then add the ginger, garlic, and red chili peppers (if using). Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Add sauce: Pour in soy sauce and rice wine, and let it sizzle for a few seconds.

Finish: Return the sea bass fillets to the pan, coating them with the sauce. Garnish with green onions and serve hot.
