Lovely, it taste so good, I made it for today’s lunch but I used kerapu fish, turned out awesome
Do I need to use rice in this recipe? Is there an alternative ingredient as I am a Muslim.
Hi Sharina,
You can substitute rice wine with apple juice, white grape juice or even lemon juice. The acid in the juice acts as a tenderiser in stir-fry marinades. However, the flavour will be slightly differ from the original.
Hope this helps.
