Sweet & Sour Fish : Vietnamese Style

I have got a great Vietnamese cookbook called "Into the Vietnamese Kitchen" and I am loving it too bits. It's so inspiring.

If you get any chances to visit Vietnam, I highly recommend you to spend some time in "Nha Trang", especially at the "Evason Nha Trang - Ana Mandara Resort". You will love the time, food and everything.

Anyway, I am very much inspired by their food, hence the "Sweet and Sour Fish" Vietnamese version.
It's absolutely delicious. Very easy & simple to prepare and to cook.

Find below my recipe
