It’s also a great choice when you end up buying 3 pounds of broccoli and 3 pounds of fish from your local convenience store (lol) Cuse you just can’t help but let go those super savers 😉 Yes, that happened to us this week and I realized ‘WHAT‘ exactly I had done when we were trying to store everything in our already overflowing fridge! So guess what our brunch menu might look like … Bazinga!
Now, I have been making this recipe since I was 17, and no, I’m not telling you how many years it has been until – (Ha Ha) and I can probably cook this even in my sleep. The beautiful orange color you’re seeing is from the chili-garlic schezwan sauce (recipe here) that I’ve used and the broccoli is lightly sauteed with the mix, once the sauce n fish is ready. The taste comes from the shallow fried fish which has been marinated in a spicy batter and you can go a notch up or down depending on your spice level. This recipe is a perfect combination of sweet and spicy with delicious flavors. This Broccoli Fish in Sweet-Spicy Sauce is usually served with plain rice or you can do a light stir-fry rice or serve it with any other side like quinoa/noodles and even bread. (I’ve had it with baguette once…as I was super lazy to cook anything more than this).
