And in this recipe, we are using Tilapia. Season the fish fillets with salt and pepper, ensuring they\u2019re well-coated and ready for a flavour splash. Dust them generously with cornstarch. This step is crucial for getting that crispy crust that makes everyone go, \u201c<em><strong>Oh my cod, this is amazing!<\/strong><\/em>\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Step 2: Fry Me to the Moon<br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Heat the oil in a pan.

Toss in those juicy pineapple chunks \u2013 the stars of our <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chinese <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">sweet and sour fish with pineapple<\/span><\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> show.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Step 4: The Sauce Awakens<br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mix together the ketchup, vinegar, sugar, soy sauce, and water. Pour this vibrant concoction into the pan with the veggies. Let it bubble and boil until all ingredients are dancing together in sweet and sour harmony. Stir in the cornstarch slurry to thicken the sauce to your desired consistency. It\u2019s like watching a delicious lava lamp in action.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Step 5: Dive In!<br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Place the crispy fish fillets on a serving dish and generously pour the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">fish sweet &amp; sour<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> sauce over them.
