For this dish, varieties of fish with dense white meat are well suited - cod, halibut, tilapia. You can put any vegetables and fruits in any combination to your liking. Fish is best deep-fried in a wok or in a deep frying pan. If we fry the fish as usual, then there is a big risk that it will fall apart when turned over.

800-1000 g white fish fillet (cut into squares with a side of about 3 cm)
one small pepper of different colors (green, yellow, red) or one large pepper of any color - cut into 3 cm squares)
1 large tomato (cut into 3 cm squares) - I used some dried cherry tomatoes
1 onion - also cut into squares (I cut into half rings)
5-6 slices of pineapple optional (I didn’t put it - I definitely won’t eat fish with pineapple)
oil for frying
¼ teaspoon wine or rice vinegar
¼ tsp sugar
½ tsp. year
¼ tsp orange juice
¼ tsp pineapple juice
¼ ketchup
2 tbsp. l. cornstarch
1 tsp sesame oil
¼ cup cornstarch
2 cups flour
6 art. l. vegetable oil
4 tsp baking powder
1 tsp. salt with spices
black or red pepper
2 hours of water (I took with gas)

Cooking

Step 1

Marinate the fish a little, if desired, in a mixture of orange juice and ketchup. Literally a couple of tablespoons of juice mixed with a spoonful of ketchup and a spoonful of water. You can not pickle, immediately fry.

Step 2

Heat fryer. Roll the fish in starch. In a large bowl mix flour, butter, baking powder, salt and pepper. Let stand for a minute, add water and stir. The dough turns out like pancakes. Dip the fish in the batter and coat well on all sides.

Step 3

Fry in hot oil for about 4 minutes until golden brown. Dry on a napkin - excess fat must be removed.

Step 4

Prepare vegetables - fry in a pan for about 3 minutes. Remove from fire.

Step 5

Prepare sweet and sour sauce. In a wok, mix sugar, wine vinegar, salt, orange juice, ketchup. Simmer, stirring, 10 minutes. Add cornstarch mixed with pineapple juice and simmer until thickened. Add tomatoes and pineapple pieces, heat through. Add previously fried peppers with onions, heat and stir.

Step 6

Put fish pieces on a serving dish, pour sauce with vegetables on top. Can be mixed. Serve with white rice.
