　　Orange juice Steps for preparing fish pieces:

3. Coat the fish pieces evenly with a mixture of flour and cornstarch (ratio 1:1);

4. Heat an appropriate amount of oil in a pan until it is 7-8 degrees hot, then fry the fish pieces until golden brown;

5. In another pot, add orange juice and 2 spoons of sugar; let the sugar dissolve, then add the fish pieces and stir to ensure they are fully submerged in the orange juice;

6. Thicken the sauce with a slurry (reduce heat before adding the slurry to prevent burning);

7: TIP

1: The ratio of flour to cornstarch for coating should be 1:1, as this will result in a good appearance and texture when fried;

2: Use a proper "tool" for squeezing orange flesh if available; otherwise, wrap the flesh in a piece of gauze and squeeze it hard;

3: Reduce heat before thickening to ensure the orange juice can better blend with the fish pieces.

3: Be sure to thicken the sauce with a small fire, so that the orange juice can better blend with the fish chunks.
