To Prep:

- Mix salt, five spice powder and white pepper, then sprinkle all over the fish steaks. Let marinate for 10 mins.
Marination Sauce:
- Add all ingredients for the sauce into a small pot and stir over low heat for 5 minutes to get all the flavour
- Pour into a bowl big enough to fit all the fish and let cool to room temperature.
To Cook:
- Heat up 2 cups of oil in a small pot.
- Slide the fish into the hot oil, a couple of pieces at a time, and fry until the fish is a golden brown.
- Remove to kitchen paper covered plates to let excess oil drain off. Repeat for all pieces of fish.
- When the fish has cooled, add them to the sauce, making sure the pieces are submerged into the sauce and let sit at room temperature for 2 hours before serving or cover and let it marinate overnight in the fridge.
- Place the fish onto a serving plate and drizzle with the sauce.
