Prepare the Fish: Rinse the gurame fillet thoroughly. In a mixing bowl, combine the fish with lime juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Allow it to marinate for 15-20 minutes.

Coating the Fish: In one bowl, beat the egg. In another bowl, place the spicy all-purpose flour. Once the fish is marinated, dip it into the beaten egg, then coat it evenly with the flour.

-
Frying the Fish: Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Carefully add the coated fish and fry until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
-
Making the Sauce: In a separate pan, heat a little oil for sautéing. Add sliced garlic and onion, cooking until fragrant. Stir in the oyster sauce, ketchup, chili sauce, and a suitable amount of water. Mix well.
-
Final Touches: Season the sauce with sugar, salt, and pepper to taste. Add the sliced carrot and cook until tender. Stir continuously to prevent burning.

Serving: Once the sauce is ready, pour it over the fried fish or serve it on the side as a dipping sauce.
