Fried Pompano with Black Bean Sauce

 

I have been eating fried pompano regularly, about twice a week and after a while I wanted to do something different with it so here goes!

Ingredients:

    1/2 kg. pompano

    3 tblspns oyster sauce

    3 tblspns sweet soy

    1 tspn black beans

    1 tblspn corn starch

    2 slices of ginger (chopped fine)

    5 cloves of garlic (chopped fine)

    1 onion (chopped fine)

    cilantro and black pepper to taste

Wash and pat dry the pompano and make square slices and apply corn starch. Deep fry for 3 minutes on each side until crispy then set aside on a dish.

To make the sauce, saute the garlic, ginger and chopped onions and black beans  in a pan and add a dash of black pepper. Add a cup and a half of water and while stirring, add the sweet soy and oyster sauce. Fill a 1/3 cup of water with a tablespoon of corn starch and add to the pan. Stir until the sauce thickens then pour onto the pompano. Add som bits of cilantro and serve.
