Five Spice and GingerFried Fish

The Chinese Five Spice fish dish is quite popular in most of the Chinese restaurants, but it is very easy to prepare at home. The whole fish of any kind can be used for this recipe. I want to have my own easy recipe for this dish, which is a mirror of the Chinese Five Spice fish. Serve with steamed rice alongside and steamed broccoli will complete a healthy meal.

Ingredients;
1 whole trout, cleaned and cut into big sections
Marinade ingredients:
1 small piece ginger, chopped
2 green onions, chopped into sections
1 tsp soy sauce
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp Five Spice powder
1/4 tsp black pepper
Sauce ingredients:
1/2 cup kelp broth
1 tsp each sugar, blackstrap molasses, and soy sauce
1 tbs each rice vinegar and cooking wine
1 tsp sesame oil
Other ingredients:
Oil for deep-frying
Steamed broccoli
Steamed rice

Directions:
In a bowl, combine the cleaned fish with the marinade ingredients. Marinate for about 2 hours. Remove and pat dry the fish. Save the marinade.

Heat oil and deep fry the fish for 5 minutes. Remove.

In a saucepan, bring the sauce to boil and add deep-fried fish and the ginger and green onions from the saved marinade. Turn the heat up and cook fish until the sauce has thickened or the liquid has completely evaporated.
Serve.
