15 minutes to a delightfully fragrant pepper-seasoned catfish

Clean and cut the catfish into bite-sized pieces, marinate evenly with salt. Remember to rub salt on both the inner and outer surfaces of the fish slices for uniform seasoning, just as East Sea Seafood expertly does.

If catfish is not available, you can substitute with other fish, but catfish remains the most delicious choice.

Clean the scallions, chili, and garlic, then finely chop them.

Slice the pork fat or pork belly into bite-sized pieces, season with a pinch of salt and pepper, stir-fry briefly until the meat firms up and releases a delightful aroma. Add fish sauce for flavor, then transfer it out.

Slice the pork belly into bite-sized pieces.

Super Simple and Irresistible Catfish Glazing Recipe by East Sea Seafood

Use a non-stick pan (preferably aluminum or cast iron for enhanced flavor) to fry the leaves until they turn evenly golden on both sides, then remove and drain excess oil.

Mix garlic with a bit of sugar, chicken powder, and pepper in a mortar, grind into a smooth paste. Add seasoning salt, fish sauce, and cold water to the obtained mixture, mix thoroughly until a rich and savory spice blend is achieved.

Crucial Step: Glazing the Catfish

Take another pan (or pot), heat chili powder or turmeric powder to enhance color. Then, reduce the heat to low, add the fried catfish and meat.

Evenly drizzle the spice mixture over the fish slices, maintaining a gentle simmer to allow the fish to become tender and the spices to penetrate from the outside in. Remember to flip the fish occasionally during the glazing process.

The glazing sauce should have a deep cockroach brown color like this.

Wait until the spice mixture you drizzled thickens into a rich, deep cockroach yellow layer enveloping the fish slices. The heavenly pepper-glazed catfish, with its irresistible aroma and tender texture, is now complete!

Feel free to skip the meat part if you prefer, no need to add it.
