Directions

• Cut the fish fillet into cubes or whatever size you like. With a paper towel, pat dry. Place everything in a clean bowl.
• I seasoned it with salt and pepper after squeezing some calamansi juice. Mix it lightly till it absorbs the fluids.
• Set aside the egg in a shallow dish.
  In another shallow dish, place the cornstarch.
  In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the oil.
• Deep fried the tofu for 5 to 10 minutes, or until golden brown. Set aside.
• With the egg mixture, coat the fish fillets. Dip the fillets in the cornstarch, making sure to coat them fully.
• To make the fillet even crispier, dip them again in egg and cornstarch. Fry each batch of fish in the same skillet for about 4 minutes, turning once, until the fish is golden brown. Use paper towels as a drain. Set aside.
• Sauté ginger, onions, and garlic in a pan or wok for 1 to 2 minutes before adding tausi and half of the kintsay.
• Add 1 cup of water, oyster sauce, ground mixed peppercorns, and himalayan salt, and bring to a boil.
• Add bok choy and carrot. Simmer for 1 minute.
• Add fish, tofu, and the rest of the kintsay. Stir gently and let it simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, until the fish and tofu have absorbed the sauce.
• Serve hot. Enjoy!
