2. Coat the Fish:
   In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and wheat flour. Coat the marinated fish evenly in the flour mixture. Heat oil in a deep pan until hot, then carefully fry the fish until golden brown and fully submerged. Once cooked, remove the fish and let it drain on a paper towel.

3. Sauté the Aromatics:
   In a separate pan, sauté the minced garlic until fragrant. Then add the sliced onion and continue cooking until it becomes aromatic. Incorporate the sliced chili (optional) and ginger for added flavor.

4. Make the Sauce:
   Pour in water according to your preference, then add the oyster sauce, sweet soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning as needed.

5. Thicken the Sauce:
   Once the sauce reaches a boil, mix in a cornstarch slurry (if desired) and stir until the sauce thickens to your liking.

6. Finish the Dish:
   Add the diced tomatoes and sliced green onions into the sauce. Turn off the heat, then pour the sauce over the fried Gurame fish.
