Instructions

1. 1

   Toss the fish in the flour-cornstarch-seasoning mix until every piece is dry-coated.

2. 2

   Deep-fry on high heat until golden and crisp; drain and keep hot — twice-frying for 20 seconds gives restaurant crunch.

3. 3

   In a wok, blaze the garlic, ginger and chilies for 30 seconds — the wok should be almost smoking.

4. 4

   Add the sauces, a splash of water and the slurry; boil until it coats the spoon.

5. 5

   Return the fried pieces, toss on the highest heat for a minute, and finish with the spring onion greens.
