Braised Fish in Fragrant Sauce

My internet friend H shared this recipe with me. It has got quite a unique taste with the 5-spice powder on the fish as a seasoning. It's just nice and not too strong.

Braised Fish in Fragrant Soy Sauce
Adapted from Recipe by AMY BEH

Combined seasoning
1/4 tsp salt

1/2 tsp Chinese five spice powder

2 stalks spring onion, cut into 4cm lengths
5 thin slices young ginger
2 cloves garlic, smashed

Sauce ingredients
2 tbsp light soy sauce
1 tbsp thick soy sauce
1 tbsp sesame oil
1/2 tbsp sugar
dash of pepper
1/4 cup water

Method
Rub the combined seasoning mixture over the fish fillet to coat it lightly; dust off excess.

Pan-fry the fish fillet until 3/4 cooked .

Discard the oil and place the fish fillet in the wok.

Pour the sauce ingredients over the fish.

Put in garlic, ginger and spring onion.

Reduce the heat and allow the mixture to simmer gently.

Cover the wok for 5–6 minutes.

Open the wok cover and turn the fish around, coating it with the sauce.

Dish out and serve.
