ginger (grated) 2

cooking oil 1 tbsp

Instructions

Preparation

Wash the fish head, cut it into 4 x 4 cm pieces, drain thoroughly, lightly dust with cornstarch, and mix until evenly coated. Arrange in a deep dish.
Place the sauce ingredients in a small bowl and crush them with the handle of a kitchen knife. Cover tightly with cling film, microwave on high for 30 seconds, then add the mixture to the fish head and mix well.

Method 1

To ensure even cooking, spread the fish head around the outer edge of the dish. Place a small glass cup or condiment saucer in the center and seal the dish tightly with cling film.

Method 2

Microwave on high for 3 minutes. Carefully remove the dish, peel off the cling film, and lift out the center cup. Mix the fish, sprinkle with chopped scallions and red bell pepper, cover again, microwave on high for 1 minute, and let stand for 2 minutes before serving.
