Method

  • step 1

    Coat the fish fillets in the cornflour, then set aside. Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan, sizzle the fillets for 2-3 mins on each side until crisp, then remove and keep warm. In the same pan, briefly fry the spring onion, garlic and ginger, then add the soy sauce, brown sugar and lime juice and simmer until slightly syrupy. Spoon the sauce over the fish, scatter with chilli, Thai basil or coriander, then serve with the lime wedges.

Really good and easy to produce. I used Basa fillets (1each, they are quite big) and doubled the sauce as recommended by several other commenters. Served with basmati and long stem broccoli. Thanks for the recipe!

I have made this recipe for around 10 years and have adjusted quantities to suit my taste, also replaced the freshwater tilapia with cod. A delicious meal with lightly spiced wedges.

I’ve been making this for a few years when it was in The Good Food Magazine. Sadly, I can no longer get tilapia so use seabass instead. I serve it with stir fried noodles with peppers, onions and courgettes or a stir fry bag from the supermarket. I make no changes and it’s delicious.

Wow. Joined the site specifically to say how good this recipe is. Served with sticky Jasmine rice and used red onion instead of spring onion (because that's what we had), plus a scotch bonnet from the garden instead of a red chilli. My tip is to add a little salt in the cornflour to coat the fish…

Not sure why this didn't work well for me. Maybe it really has to be tilapia?
