Steps:
- In a small bowl, mix the 2 tsp corn starch with the 2 Tbsp rice vinegar.
- Add the chicken broth, soy sauce, and ketchup.
- Season the fish with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper.
- Spread the 1/2 cup of corn starch on a wide plate.
- Put the eggs in a bowl wide enough to dip the largest pice of cod.
- Dredge the fish in the corn starch.
- Heat 2 Tbsp of oil in a 12 inch non-stick pan over medium high heat until shimmering.
- Move each piece of cod from the corn starch to the egg to coat, then put into the pan.
- Cook on the first side for 3 minutes, then turning the fish, until brown on all sides and a little firm to the touch (total cooking time will be about 5 minutes) -- it should NOT be cooked all the way through.
- Transfer the fish to a large plate.
- Add the remaining 1 Tbsp of oil to the pan, let it warm up, then add the chiles, the white parts of the scallion, and the ginger. Stir fry for 2 ;minutes, until the scallions become translucent, with some brown spots.
- Stir the corn starch and vinegar mixture, then pour it into the pan and stir. The sauce should come to a boil and thicken.
- Reduce the heat to medium low, return the fish to the pan, and flip it to coat all the pieces uniformly with sauce. Cover the pan, with the lid slightly ajar, and cook for 3-5 minutes, until the fish is cooked fully and starting to flake.
- Taste the sauce and re-season with salt and pepper if necessary.
- Put the fish on a serving plate (or individual plates) and garnish with the scallion greens.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, firm cod fillets. Look for fillets that are opaque white in color and have a mild, briny smell. Avoid fillets that are yellowed or have a strong fishy odor.
- Use a variety of plum tomatoes. Different varieties of plum tomatoes have different flavors, so using a mix will give your dish a more complex flavor profile. Roma tomatoes are a good choice because they are firm and have a low water content, which means they will hold their shape well when cooked.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. When searing the cod fillets, don't overcrowd the pan or they will steam instead of sear. Cook the fillets in batches if necessary.
- Cook the cod fillets until they are just cooked through. Cod is a delicate fish, so it's important not to overcook it. The fillets are done when they are opaque white and flake easily with a fork.
- Serve the cod fillets immediately. Braised cod with plum tomatoes is best served immediately, while the fish is still hot and flaky.
Conclusion:
Braised cod with plum tomatoes is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The cod fillets are cooked in a flavorful tomato sauce, and the dish can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, pasta, or vegetables. This dish is also a good source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids, which are important for heart health.
