Fish in sweet and sour sauce
Description
An aromatic, vibrant, delicious, and appetizing dish. A delightful combination of sweet and sour flavors, crunchy vegetables, and tender pieces of fish fillet. If you enjoy Eastern cuisine, you'll surely like this dish as well. The preparation process is simple and quite quick. The Chinese ingredients—rice vinegar and peanut oil—we replace with regular vinegar and vegetable oil, which are more familiar to us. But don't worry, this won't spoil the taste of the dish. I hope the entire cooking process is clearly explained in this recipe, so now you'll know exactly how to make it.
