Tilapia with Nuoc Mam Gung (Ginger Fish Sauce)
Ingredients
- 3 Tilapia Fillets
- 2 tsp Garlic
- 2 tsp Ginger
- 1 tbsp Fish Sauce
- 1 tbsp Lime Juice
Garnish
- 2 tsp Soy Sauce
- 2 tsp Maggi
- ¼ Onion
- Chilis
- Cilantro
- Lime Wedge
Instructions
- Prepare tilapia by seasoning both sides with salt and pepper.
- Finely chop ginger and garlic. Slice onions, cilantro and chopped chilis for garnish and set aside.
- In a frying pan, sauté ginger and garlic. After about 30 seconds add in lime juice and fish sauce. Cook until garlic becomes transluscent and well combined. Set aside.
- In a large frying pan, heat oil on medium heat and add in your tilapia. Cook on both sides until you start to see a golden crust start to form. Depends on the size of your fillets, but I cooked for about 3 minutes on each side.
- To plate this dish, add sliced onions on your serving plate and place your fried tilapia directly ontop.
- Drizzle on your ginger garlic fish sauce on top of your tilapia. Then pour on soy sauce and maggi.
- Garnish with cilantro, red chilis and fresh squeezed lime juice.
