Ginger Spiced Catfish
Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1/2 pound peeled, matchstick-cut fresh ginger
  • 4 (4 ounce) catfish fillets
  • 2 tablespoons fish sauce
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 large yellow onion, sliced
  • 1/4 red bell pepper, cut into thin matchsticks
  • 1/2 bunch green onions, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
Instructions
1
Preheat a large skillet over medium heat, allowing the oil to warm up. Sear and stir ginger in the hot oil until it becomes slightly tender and develops a rich brown color, taking around 5 to 7 minutes. Add the catfish fillets and cook until they become firm, approximately 3 minutes on each side. Transfer the fillets to a plate and set them aside for now.

Combine fish sauce, soy sauce, and oyster sauce in the skillet, stirring them together until well incorporated. Add an onion and a red bell pepper to the skillet, cooking and stirring them until they become soft and tender, taking around 4 minutes. Reintroduce the catfish fillets to the skillet, spooning the sauce and vegetables over them. Continue cooking until the fish flesh easily breaks apart with a fork, taking about 3 minutes more. Finally, garnish the dish with green onions before serving.
