- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon (5 grams) sugar

Instructions
- Massage sea bass with salt and pepper, allowing flavors to penetrate for quarter-hour at room temperature.

- Introduce sliced green onions, stirring quickly to preserve their vibrant color and fresh flavor.
- Gently reintroduce golden sea bass pieces into the fragrant mixture.
- Drizzle soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sprinkle sugar over the fish, delicately tossing to ensure uniform glazing.

Notes
- Use fresh sea bass for the best flavor and texture, ensuring it’s properly cleaned and patted dry before marinating.
- Maintain medium-high heat while frying to achieve a crispy golden exterior without overcooking the delicate fish.
- Select young, tender ginger for a milder, fresher taste that complements the sea bass without overpowering it.
- Consider using gluten-free soy sauce to make this dish suitable for those with gluten sensitivities.
