Pike perch in Chinese
4 servings
25 minutes
Chinese-style pike perch is an exquisite dish inspired by Eastern gastronomy, where each ingredient harmoniously combines to create a vibrant flavor ensemble. The fish, with its tender texture, is marinated in a fragrant mixture of soy sauce, ginger, and aromatic pepper, giving it subtle spicy notes. It then acquires a crispy golden crust through double breading and deep frying. The dish features an expressive combination of textures - a crunchy crust and soft, juicy fish inside. This recipe recalls traditional Chinese cooking techniques where the balance of flavors and textures plays an important role. Chinese-style pike perch can be served with a spicy sauce or fresh vegetables, creating a harmonious and memorable culinary experience.
