Sweet and Sour Fish April 29, 2019

You will find many of the ingredients in local Asian stores. Sugar and vinegar, with the help of garlic and ginger, gives saucy sweet and sour fish a tasty punch. Serve it with a slightly chewy brown rice, which complements the softness of the fish. Check out the original recipe here.
