Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
• 1 large yellow onion, sliced
• 2 tablespoons fish sauce
• ½ pound peeled, matchstick-cut fresh ginger
• 4 (4 ounce) catfish fillets
• ¼ red bell pepper, cut into thin matchsticks
• ½ bunch green onions, cut into 1/4-inch pieces

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir ginger in the hot oil until slightly softened and brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Add catfish fillets; cook until firm, about 3 minutes per side. Remove fillets from the skillet to a plate and set aside.

Step 2

Stir fish sauce, soy sauce, and oyster sauce together in the skillet. Add onion and red bell pepper; cook and stir until softened, about 4 minutes. Return catfish fillets to the skillet and spoon sauce and vegetables over the fillets. Continue cooking until the flesh of the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 3 minutes more. Garnish with green onions to serve.
