View ProfileChef Esther's take on the classic Chinese dish, Kung Pao, features fish for a lighter twist. Crispy fried fillets of Swai, a delicate white fish, are served with a side of that signature spicy and sweet sauce to drizzle on at home so the fish stays nice and crunchy. Brown rice and stir-fried veggies like zucchini, carrots, and onion are served alongside the fish, with toasted cashews to add a pop of texture on top.
