1 teaspoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons water
1 cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
4 (6 ounce) catfish fillets

Steps:

  • In a 2-cup microwave-safe bowl, combine onion, oil and ginger.

Tips:

  • Choose the right catfish: Look for catfish with firm, white flesh and no off-putting odor. Avoid catfish with dark spots or bruises.
  • Clean the catfish thoroughly: Rinse the catfish under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels. Use a sharp knife to remove the head, tail, and fins. Then, make a shallow incision along the belly and remove the entrails.
  • Marinate the catfish: Marinating the catfish in a mixture of ginger, garlic, soy sauce, and rice wine will help to tenderize the fish and infuse it with flavor.
  • Cook the catfish properly: The best way to cook catfish is to fry it in a hot skillet until it is cooked through. You can also bake or grill the catfish, but be sure to cook it to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Serve the catfish with a flavorful sauce: A simple ginger sauce is a great way to serve catfish. You can also try a more complex sauce, such as a black bean sauce or a sweet and sour sauce.

Conclusion:

Catfish is a delicious and versatile fish that can be cooked in a variety of ways. Whether you are frying, baking, or grilling catfish, be sure to follow these tips to ensure that your dish turns out perfectly.
