Tilapia in Thai Sauce

I love the internet. There is so much information at your fingertips with the touch of the button. I can find a recipe for anything, learn how to change a flat tire, check my poor spelling, and sometimes meet some really nice people. This recipe was passed along by an internet friend named Viviane. She sent it in pdf format, but I was not techy enough to figure out how to include the pdf here. I did finally figure out the enclosure link function so if you want to go directly to the recipe on the BBC Good Food website you can click here. Wasn't that cool? I'm easily impressed. I'm also including the recipe below. Thanks Viviane. I love tilapia and hope to try this very soon.

Ingredients

4 tilapia fillets
2 tbsp cornflour
2 tbsp sunflower oil
4 spring onions , sliced
2 garlic cloves , crushed
small piece fresh ginger , finely chopped
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp brown sugar
juice 1 lime , plus 1 lime chopped into wedges, to serve
1 red chilli , deseeded and sliced
handful Thai basil leaves or coriander leaves

Coat the fish fillets in the cornflour, then set aside. Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan, sizzle the fillets for 2-3 mins on each side until crisp, then remove and keep warm. In the same pan, briefly fry the spring onion, garlic and ginger, then add the soy sauce, brown sugar and lime juice and simmer until slightly syrupy. Spoon the sauce over the fish, scatter with chilli, Thai basil or coriander, then serve with the lime wedges.
