Sweet Chili Walleye and Snow Pea Stir Fry
Servings: 2
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 walleye fillet, boneless, skinless, sliced thinly on bias
- 7oz snow peas, trimmed
- 1 egg white
- 1 tablespoon Shaoxing cooking wine (optional)

Yes, a fish stir fry! Walleye is good for more than just fish fries (though I love those too) and this recipe proves it.
Even better, it all comes together in under 30 minutes, making this an ideal low-calorie weeknight dinner option when served with brown rice. The only tricky part is being very careful not to break the fish up too much by tossing it around the wok gently. The good news is that even if the fish breaks up on you, the end result will still be super tasty!
Feel free to swap the snow peas out with other tender veggies like spinach, bok choy, celery, sugar snap peas, or blanched green beans or broccoli.
Directions
Step 1
Cook rice to package instructions.
Step 2
Mix together the egg white, Shaoxing wine, and corn starch in a bowl. Toss in the fish and let marinate for 15 minutes.
Step 3
Heat the oil in a wok or skillet over high heat. Add the fish in one layer and cook without moving for 1 minute. Gently (very gently!) flip the fish and cook for another 30 seconds, then transfer to a bowl.
Step 4
Clean and re-oil the wok if necessary. Add the snow peas and cook, tossing constantly, for 1 minute. Add the fish and sweet chili sauce and toss gently (trying not to smush the fish) until everything is sauced.
Step 5
Transfer to plates with rice and squeeze a drizzle of lime juice and sprinkle of sesame seeds over everything. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
