Notes
Cooking Tips of Tilapia in Pineapple-Ginger Sauce recipe:
- Perfectly Crispy Fish: To ensure your tilapia fillets are crispy, pat them dry with paper towels before seasoning and coating them. This helps remove excess moisture, allowing the flour or cornstarch to adhere better and create a crispy crust when fried.
- Flavorful Ginger Infusion: For a more intense ginger flavor in your sauce, try grating the ginger instead of chopping it. This releases more of the ginger's oils and juices, enhancing the overall taste of the dish.
- Balancing Sweet and Sour: Achieve the perfect balance of sweetness and tanginess in your sauce by adjusting the amount of sugar and vinegar. Taste the sauce as you go and add more sugar if it's too sour, or more vinegar if it's too sweet, until you reach your desired flavor profile.
