Wok Seared Hoisin Tilapia
Serves: Single
Ingredients
3 Tbsp | Classic Hoisin Sauce (GF) |
6 oz | Tilapia fillets (frozen or fresh) |
1 Tbsp | Cornstarch, optional |
1 Tbsp | Vegetable oil |
1 stalk | Green onions, bias cut 1” |
1 Tbsp | Green onions, chopped (for garnish) |
1 slice | Lemon |
Instructions
- Lightly coat tilapia with cornstarch and set aside. (The cornstarch adds texture to the tilapia; however, it is optional. For large quantities, oil blanches tilapia in deep fryer at 350F for 45 seconds, then finish on griddle or wok).
- Heat a wok or griddle on medium high heat; add oil then tilapia and sauté about 3 minutes. (For oil blanched tilapia, brown tilapia 30-40 second then add green onions and sauce.)
- Turn tilapia over and add in sliced lemon and bias cut green onions.
- Remove sliced lemon when brown and continue to sauté about 3 minutes, or until tilapia is done.
- Add Classic Hoisin Sauce to pan but not on top of the tilapia, remove all ingredients when sauce is hot.
- Pour some Classic Hoisin Sauce on plate and top with tilapia.
- Garnish with chopped green onions and browned sliced lemon.
