- 5 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 cups peeled, julienned ginger (about 1/2 pound)
- 1 1/2 pounds catfish fillets, sliced crosswise into 1/4-inch-wide strips
- 3 1/2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons mushroom soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 large Spanish onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 red bell pepper, julienned
- 1/2 bunch scallions, cut diagonally into 2-inch pieces
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ginger and cook, stirring, until brown and crisp, about 7 minutes. Add the fish, stir gently until thoroughly mixed with the ginger and cook for about 3 minutes. Add the sugar, soy sauce, fish sauce and salt and stir well. Stir in the onion and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes. Add the red pepper and scallions and cook for another 2 minutes, then serve.
