Step by step cooking of stewed catfish in Japanese style in sauce, recipe with photo:
1. Since catfish steaks are sold in our country most often frozen, defrost it first. Do this naturally without using the microwave. Place the fish in a bowl and place on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator. When the fish is thawed, wash it under running cold water and dry well with a paper towel. Then remove the skin from it, separate the fillet from the ridge and cut the meat into elongated pieces.
2. Peel onions and garlic, wash and chop: onion in thin half rings, garlic in thin strips.
3. Put fish meat, onion and garlic in a deep bowl and add chopped cilantro.
4. Season food with ground black pepper and fish seasoning.
5. Then salt them.
6. Pour 9% soy sauce and vinegar into a bowl. Mix the food well and leave to marinate for half an hour.
7. Pour vegetable oil into a frying pan, heat well and add fish and onions. Pour all the sauce in which you marinated into the skillet.
8. Simmer Japanese-style catfish in sauce over medium heat, stirring occasionally. It takes no longer than 10 minutes to cook. When the fish and onions have a light golden hue, remove them from the pan. Serve immediately after cooking, although it tastes just as good after cooling.
