Sweet and Sour Red Snapper is perfect dish to make for lunch. It is delicious and simple to make. It took me less than 30 minutes to prepare this dish. I like this best when eaten with Yang Chow fried rice, although regular white rice will do too.

Sweet and Sour Red Snapper Recipe

The process in making Sweet and Sour Red Snapper seemed to be simpler when I divided the task into 2 processes. The first process is to fry the fish. This involved rubbing salt all over the fish including the cavity and head. I let it stay for 10 minutes before frying so that the fish can absorb the salt. The next step is to fry the fish until each side turns golden brown.

The next process involves making the sweet and sour sauce. The sauce recipe is straightforward. All I did was to add each  sauce ingredient one at a time and then thicken the sauce using cornstarch, which was diluted in water. Once the sauce is done, it is poured over the fried fish that lying on a serving plate. That’s it!
