Cod fish is often steamed, deep fried, broiled and baked but it is very seldom that we hear of it being stir-fried. Well, since I prefer stir-frying most of my food, I thought I’d try using this healthy and easy method to prepare cod fish. Fortunately, it turned out quite good!
It is rather easy and though many would have the concern of spoiling the fish or overcooking it, I felt that if we cook it in just the right length of time, it turns out quite okay. Absolutely delicious if I may say so.
Here’s the:
Healthy, easy stir-fried cod fish recipe:
Ingredients
150g cod fish fillet, sliced into chunks
Half pod of garlic, peeled and diced
2 – 3 slices of fresh ginger
A handful of Thai basil
2 – 3 tbs light soya sauce
1 tsp dark soya sauce
Cooking oil / cooking spray
Instructions
1. Season the cod fish with the light soya sauce for at least an hour.
2. Heat up a non-stick frying pan / wok and grease it either with cooking oil or cooking spray
3. Sauté the garlic and ginger till fragrant.
4. Add in the chunks of cod fish and stir fry for about 5 to 8 minutes.
5. Add in the dark soya sauce and the basil.
6. Stir to make sure the fish is well costed in the sauce, add a tablespoon of water if you must.
7. Once the fish appears an opaque white, you can immediately remove from heat.
8. It is best served hot.
Note: Do remember to keep the fire at medium to medium low so that you don’t burn the fish.
Enjoy!

this really reminds me of one time, when i was too lazy to cook and simply mixed up all the vegetables including cod fish, salmon and beef for a quick stir fry, not too badly taste but i still love the cod fish to be half baked.
