Grandma’s Braised Grouper

Ingredients

• 2 white fish fillets (The author used red grouper, approximately 275 g per piece.)
• 0.5 red onion (Sliced.)
• 1 bulb garlic (Peeled.)
• 1 inch ginger (Sliced.)
• 2 stalks coriander (Separate stalks from leaves; use the stalks for cooking and the leaves for garnish.)
• 2 tbsp oyster sauce
• 2 tbsp light soy sauce
• 2 tbsp fish sauce
• 2 tbsp sesame oil
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 5 tbsp water
• cooking oil (For stir-frying; amount not specified.)
• chili (Optional garnish mentioned in the transcript; amount not specified.)

Steps

1. 1

   Chop the coriander, separating the stalks from the leaves. Slice the red onion and ginger, and prepare the peeled garlic.

2. 2

   In a small bowl, mix together the oyster sauce, light soy sauce, fish sauce, sesame oil, sugar, and water to make the sauce.

3. 3

   Heat cooking oil in a pan. Add the garlic, sliced onion, and ginger, and stir-fry until fragrant.

4. 4

   Add the coriander stalks to the pan.

5. 5

   Place the fish on top of the aromatics and coriander stalks.

6. 6

   Pour the prepared sauce over the fish.

7. 7

   Simmer over medium heat for 10 minutes.

8. 8

   Garnish with the reserved fresh coriander leaves and, optionally, chili. Serve.

Notes

The source does not specify the amount of cooking oil or the type and amount of chili. The transcript refers to red snapper, while the written recipe identifies red grouper; either is presented as a white fish option, but the written recipe is treated as authoritative.
