Pan-Fried Fish Fillet Recipe

Make the lemon-sesame dressing: place all ingredients in a bottle. Cover and shake until well blended. Set aside.

Marinate fish in 1 tablespoon lemon-sesame dressing. Do the same with the tofu in a separate bowl. Let stand in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.

Dredge fish fillets in cornstarch or rice flour. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a frying pan. Fry fish fillets and tofu over medium heat until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side. Set aside.

Heat remaining oil in the same pan; sauté garlic and ginger until fragrant. Add carrots and bell peppers; sauté for 1 minute.

Pour in lemon-sesame dressing. Add a pinch of chili flakes, if desired. Toss in tofu.

Add cooked pasta and toss to mix well. If it's too dry, add pasta water a tablespoon at a time. Top pasta with fish. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions.
