    • 1/2 red, orange or yellow bell pepper, sliced
    • Medium onion, sliced
    • Ginger, minced
    • 4 garlic cloves, minced
    • 2 tablespoons soy sauce

    • 1 tablespoon Thai chilli sauce, or more to taste
    • 1/2 cup chicken broth

    Method

    • Season the fish with salt and pepper, then, coat each with flour.

    • Heat oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat.

    • Cook the fish for about 2 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and slightly browned. Transfer to a plate and set aside.

    • Add onion, ginger and garlic to the same pan and cook for 1 minute. Stir in soy sauce, vinegar, brown sugar, chilli sauce and chicken broth.

    • Cook for another minute to allow sugar to dissolve. Stir in cornstarch and cook until sauce thickens slightly.

    • Reduce heat; return ribbonfish and add bell pepper to the pan and cook for another 3 minutes, or until fish is heated through.

    • Season with salt and black pepper.

    • Transfer to serving platter and serve warm.
