Cooking Instructions
Wash and pat dry the flounders. Score both sides of each fish with a sharp knife in a diagonal pattern. Salt the fish with the kosher salt and set aside. In a large, deep skillet or wok, begin to heat the oil.
To make the sauce: In a large saucepan, heat the oil and saute the gingerroot and garlic for 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the remaining ingredients and simmer.
Dredge the reserved flounders in the flour and fry in the hot oil for 4 minutes or until lightly browned and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
Place 1 flounder on each serving plate and top with the warm sauce. Garnish with the green onions and serve immediately.
