This Chinese-style dish features white fish fillets cooked in a savoury sauce made with soy, ginger, and red chillies. The sauce is quickly prepared by simmering soy sauce, Chinese wine, and brown sugar. The fish is then pan-fried in the glossy mixture until just cooked through. It's a fast meal, taking only 15 minutes from start to finish, and is traditionally served over steamed rice with greens on the side.
