Instructions
Prepare the fish
Clean the fish, remove the innards, wash, then chop off the head and tail and set aside. Remove the skin from the middle section, slice the fish meat into segments, then cut into thin pieces and finally into fine shreds. Soak in cold water briefly, squeeze out excess moisture, then toss with egg whites and a wet starch slurry until coated.
Prepare the vegetables
Trim off the heads and tails of the bean sprouts and wash them well. Cut the green and red peppers into thin strips.
Steam the head and tail
Blanch the fish head and tail in boiling water, arrange them on a plate, season with the spices, and steam in a steamer until fully cooked, then remove.
Cook the fish shreds
Place the wok over the heat and add oil.
