First lets make the batter to fry the fish.
Crack one egg in a bowl. You are doing it right if your egg has an yellow yolk. To the egg add half a teaspoon each of salt and pepper powder. Add in 1/4 cup of corn starch and half a teaspoon of soy sauce. Stir well.

Let the batter marinate for 15-20 minutes. Add oil to a pan for frying the fish. When the oil is hot,add the fish to the pan and cook till they are lightly browned.About 2 minutes. Lift out and drain on paper towels. Set aside. In the mean time, if you are like me, nibble on the fried fish. Promise me you wont be like me.

Heat a table spoon of oil in a skillet. When shimmering add in the chopped garlic and fry till they start to brown. Add in the chopped onion and the sliced red peppers/capsicum. Briefly fry for a minute. Now add in the sauce mixture (honey,soy and vinegar). I used apple cider vinegar as that’s what I had. If you have rice vinegar use it dearies. Simmer for a minute. Now is the time to thicken the sauce. Add the corn starch slurry to the pan and saute for 10 seconds.

The sauce will become thick in an instant. Add in the fried fish and toss slightly to coat. Add the spring onions/scallions. Toss it around so the fish gets evenly coated with the sauce. Remove off heat.
