    1. Clean and scale the fish and season it with salt and pepper. Just before frying, coat the fish with cornstarch.
    2. In a wok or large pan, fry the fish in hot oil. Drain on paper towels.
    3. Prepare the sauce: In a stock pot, pour in all the sauce ingredients and boil it on medium fire until the tomatoes have wilted and the stock has reduced to half, about 20 minutes. Strain.
