Method:
Wash, clean and cut the fish fillet into small cubes.
To a bowl, add the fish cubes, salt, pepper, vinegar and lime juice, mix to combine and leave it aside to marinate for 20 minutes.
Next, coat the marinated fish with corn flour and all-purpose flour and fry until golden.
Place a cooking pot over medium heat with oil, finely chopped ginger or garlic, thickly sliced capsicum, green chilli and onion, and give it a stir.
For the sauce, add soy sauce, chilli flakes, tomato sauce and corn flour into the pot and combine.
Finally, add the fried fish cubes, chopped tomato, salt and sugar and mix until everything is coated with the sauce and serve!
