Directions
- In a saucepan, bring the 2 cups of water to boiling. Remove the pan from the heat; let cool for 2 minutes. Add the tea bags and steep for 5 minutes. Remove the bags from the water (do not squeeze them) and discard them. Add the soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, hoisin sauce, and sesame oil to the water; set aside.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, scallions, and ginger and stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the garlic mixture with a slotted spoon and set aside. Add the fish to the skillet and sear for 2 minutes on each side. Add the poaching liquid, cover, lower the heat to simmer, and cook the fish for 8 minutes, until cooked through.
- Remove the fish from the skillet with a slotted spoon and keep warm. Mix the cornstarch and cold water together. Add the cornstarch mixture to the poaching liquid in the skillet and cook over medium heat for 5 to 6 minutes, until thickened.
- To serve, drizzle the fish with the thickened poaching sauce and top each filet with some of the garlic mixture.
