Recipe 107: Fish Sweet and Sour

Usually, I do this dish once we have generous amount of left-over fried fish from our previous meals. The fish is usually a King Fish type, which is one of the very familiar in Qatar fish market. Unlike other kinds of fish, this one tastes good only once newly fried because if several hours passed King Fish typically hardens and losses its crispiness. So that the left over will not be put into waste, it is better for me to resort to another good menu – the sweet and sour using the left-over fried fish.

This one might be very far from the typical sweet and sour you have tasted in your fave restaurants but this too tastes very acceptable. I have been doing this for several times and so far I am satisfied to this dish.

Ingredients:

Left-over king fish: shred into considerable sizes

1 carrot: sliced into thin pieces

1 green bell pepper: sliced into thin pieces

Ginger: sliced into thin pieces

Cloves of garlic

1 pc Onion: sliced into ring size
