RED-COOKED FISH WITH TANGERINE PEEL
"Red cooking'' means braising with a strong sauce, one that incidentally is reddish in color. The technique is usually applied to meat but it works well with any firm white fish. If carp is unavailable, a similar fresh fish may be substituted.

Steps:
- Soak the tangerine or citrus peel for 20 minutes in warm water or until it is soft. Rinse under running water, squeeze out any excess liquid, finely chop, and set aside.
- Make three or four slashes on each side of the fish to help it cook faster and allow the flavors to permeate. Rub the fish on both sides with the salt. Evenly coat each side of the fish with the cornstarch.
- Heat a wok or deep saute pan until it is hot. Add the oil, and when it is hot, deep-fry the fish on each side for 5 to 8 minutes until it is brown and crispy. (If the head or tail is not submerged in the oil, regularly ladle some of the oil over the exposed parts.) Remove the fish, and drain on paper towels.
- Pour off most of the oil, leaving 2 tablespoons, and reheat the wok. Add the chopped tangerine peel, garlic, ginger, and scallions and stir-fry for 30 seconds. Put in the rest of the ingredients. Return the fish to the wok, spooning the ingredients over the top of the fish. Cover the wok, and cook over low heat for 8 minutes. When the fish is cooked, carefully remove it to a serving platter, and serve at once.
