Tilapia is readily available and it takes no time to cook, making it a great choice for weeknight dinners. It’s also a mild-flavored fish, so it’s the perfect vehicle for the flavor-packed sauces in this dish. You can find Chinese black bean garlic sauce and Asian chile sauce in the Asian section of your supermarket. They’re also good additions to marinades and sauces.
Heat the oil in a well-seasoned wok or 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until the oil shimmers and a piece of scallion dropped in the pan sizzles vigorously. Add the fish all at once, distributing it evenly around the pan. Cook without stirring for 3 minutes. Add the scallions and stir gently. Cook, stirring occasionally and gently, until the thickest part of a piece of fish is opaque throughout (cut to check), 2 to 3 minutes more.
Serve with the rice, drizzled with chile sauce.
A Green Papaya Salad makes a nice starter as it’s also eaten with jasmine rice.

I'm not a Tilapia fan but I make this with Cod quite often. Delicious!
Five stars. Made it last night and loved it. Very easy to make and we thought perfectly seasoned.
We love this recipe. I add the hot sauce to the fish marinade. I've made this many times. Always serve with jasmine rice. Super easy, quick and delicious.
