-
Sauté the Aromatics: In the same pan, sauté the chopped garlic, sliced onion, and both types of chili until fragrant and the onions are translucent.
-
Add Vegetables and Sauce: Incorporate the diced tomato and green beans, adding a splash of water. Then, mix in the oyster sauce, sweet soy sauce, salt, and any additional seasoning you prefer. Taste and adjust the flavors as needed.
-
Combine with Fish: Gently introduce the fried mackerel back into the pan, allowing it to simmer with the sauce until the fish is well-coated and the flavors meld together.
-
Serve: Once everything is cooked to your liking, turn off the heat and serve hot, pairing it with steamed rice for a fulfilling meal.
