FISH
4 fish fillets (panga, sea bream, plaice, tilapia or snapper, about 100g each)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg
50 g cornflour (cornstarch)
peanut oil (for frying)
CURRY SAUCE
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon garlic, peeled and finely diced
2 tablespoons spring onions, finely chopped (green onions or scallions)
1 tablespoon dry sherry or 1 tablespoon rice wine
1 tablespoon naturally fermented soy sauce
1 -2 teaspoon sambal oelek, depending on heat required
1 tablespoon mild yellow chinese style curry powder
4 tablespoons coconut milk
fresh coriander leaves (to garnish, cilantro)

1
Take the fish fillets and sprinkle them with the salt on both sides, allow them to sit for about 15 minutes.
2
Whilst the fish is being salted, prepare the curry sauce. Heat the sesame oil in a wok or frying pan until hot and then fry the spring onions and garlic for about 1 to 2 minutes. Add the remaining curry sauce ingredients and turn the heat down, allow the sauce to simmer for about 2 to 4 minutes - then check the heat and seasoning and adjust to taste. If the sauce is too thick, add more coconut milk or some water.
3
When you are ready to fry the fish, beat the egg in a large bowl, then dip the fish fillets in the cornflour and then into the beaten egg, making sure they are well coated on both sides.
4
Heat up the groundnut oil in a large wok or frying pan until it is hot, and then shallow fry the fish fillets, in batches, until they are golden brown; this takes about 4 to 8 minutes on each side, depending on the type of fish you use and the thickness of the fillets. Drain the cooked fish fillets on kitchen paper.
5
To serve, place the freshly fried fish fillets on to a large serving platter or individual plates and pour the hot curry sauce over the top. Garnish with fresh coriander (cilantro) leaves.
6
Serve with steamed or boiled white rice and radish pickle, sweet chilli sauce and soy sauce.
