this is a simple, healthy version of sweet and sour fish 糖醋魚. here, we just lightly pan fry the fish, instead of deep frying. we are using all parts of the fish because fried bones and head are also yummy! but of course, you can just use fillets.

salt 1 tsp
shaoxing wine 1 tsp
cornflour 1 tbsp
tomato 1 medium
ketchup 3 tbsp
