Reduce oil to about 2 tbsp. for the sauce. - Reheat the pan then add the garlic and ginger. Saute for about 2 minutes until soft and fragrant then add the onions. Cook until onions are translucent.
- Adjust the heat to low and then add the coconut milk with gentle stirring. Simmer for about 5 minutes then add the vinegar, at this point, do not stir. Let it simmer for another 3 minutes.
- Adjust thickness of sauce by slowly adding water up to desired consistency. Drop the whole green chilies and the chopped hot chili. Adjust taste with salt and pepper.
Put back the fried fish into the pan, simmer for another 7 to 10 minutes (turn over the fish to coat both sides). - Turn off heat. Transfer into a serving plate and serve with hot rice
