I made this dish with my grandfather at his house.
Serve this light white fish dish with a tasty ankake sauce.
Tofu goes well with this an so you can make a nice dish without using cod fillets.

-I used only one frying pan but if you don't like this, use separate frying pans.
-Sesame oil is for flavouring the dish. I mixed vegetable oil and sesame oil but you can use either of them.
-Sprinkling sake over the cod gets rid of the strong fishy smell.
-As an alternative to shaoxing wine I prefer shochu to sake. Recipe by Amikope
