Instructions

1
Cut the fish into thick, bite-sized pieces.
2
Toss the fish pieces with the cornstarch to coat them evenly. This gives a light, crispy coating and helps the fish hold together. Set aside.
3
Peel and slice the ginger into thin strips.
4
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, water, sugar, sesame oil, and white pepper, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Set aside.
5
Heat a non-stick skillet or well-seasoned wok with the cooking oil over medium-high heat until the oil shimmers.
6
Add the ginger strips — listen for a sharp hiss, which means the oil is hot enough — and stir-fry until light brown and crispy. Remove the ginger and set aside in a bowl.
7
Using the ginger-infused oil, pan-fry the fish undisturbed for a few minutes until a golden crust forms, then gently turn with a spatula or chopsticks and fry the other side until light golden. Handle carefully to avoid breaking the delicate fillets.
8
Pour the sauce over the fish. Once it starts to bubble, turn off the heat.
9
Dish out the fish, top with the crispy ginger strips and chopped scallions, and serve immediately with steamed rice.
