Method:
1. Cut salmon into 1 inch cubes. Wash them and pat dry using kitchen towel.

3. Heat oil in a pan. Add the fish pieces and fry till golden and crispy from all sides. Remove fish from pan and put in a kitchen towel.

4. In a bowl add 1 Tbsp corn flour and 6 Tbsp water. Mix well and keep aside.

5. Heat oil in pan. Add chopped ginger, garlic and green chilli. Saute for 30 seconds.

6. Add cubed onions, bell pepper and saute for another few minutes on high flame. Cook till the pepper and onion are little tender but still crunchy. 

(Should not overcook the veggies)

7. Add vinegar, soy sauce and red chilli sauce. Mix well and cook for a minute.

8. Reduce the heat to medium. Stir the corn flour mix prepared in step 4 and pour it in the mix. Stir continuously in order to avoid lump formation.
