Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 2

Ingredients

3/4 cup canned low-salt chicken broth
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon oriental sesame oil or vegetable oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced peeled fresh ginger
1 1/2 tablespoons cider vinegar
4 teaspoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon sugar
2 6-ounce sea bass fillets
Cooked rice
Chopped green onion tops

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Combine broth and cornstarch in small bowl; stir until cornstarch dissolves. Heat oil in heavy medium saucepan over high heat. Add garlic and ginger; stir-fry until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add vinegar, soy sauce, sugar and cornstarch mixture and boil until sauce thickens, stirring constantly, about 1 minute. Remove from heat. Season sauce with pepper.

    Step 2

    Preheat broiler. Brush some sauce over each side of fish fillets. Broil until just cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Place fish on plates. Spoon rice alongside; sprinkle with onion tops. Serve, passing remaining sauce separately.
