Instructions

  1. 1

    Apply Knorr Liquid Seasoning all over the tilapia. Let it stand for 10 minutes so that the fish can absorb the flavor of the seasoning.

    Make the sauce by heating 3 tablespoons of cooking oil in a cooking pot. Saute onion and garlic for 10 seconds. Add ginger. Saute for 12 seconds.

  4. 4

    Pour white vinegar and water. Let boil.

  5. 5

    Add tomato ketchup. Stir until it completely dilutes in the mixture.

  6. 6

    Add sugar. Stir until the sugar gets fully incorporated.

  7. 7

    Put carrots and bell peppers. Cook for 3 minutes.

  8. 8

    Combine cornstarch and 3 tablespoons water. Mix well. Pour into the cooking pot. Stir until sauce thickens.
