Ingredients:





     2 ts Sesame oil


     1 tb Corn oil


   1/2 ts Chile oil


   1/2 lb Ground pork


     6    Green onions; 1" lengths


     2 ts Ginger; shredded


     2    Garlic cloves; minced


     2 ts Soy sauce


   1/4 c  Rice wine


   1/4 c  Hot water


          Salt


     2 lb Catfish fillets


          Oil for frying






 Combine sesame, corn and chile oils in wok or large skillet. Add pork and


 stir fry quickly over high heat, breaking pork up into smallest possible


 pieces with wooden spoon. When pork begins to brown, add green onions,


 ginger and garlic. Continue to stir fry about 2 minutes. Add soy sauce,


 rice wine and water. Stir well and reduce heat to low. Meanwhile, lightly


 salt catfish fillets to taste. Fry, turning once, in another skillet over


 medium high heat. Continue stirring sauce while fish fries. When fish is


 cooked but not overdone (about 2-3 minutes to a side), remove to warm


 dinner plates. Sauce should have reduced to thick, syrup-like consistency.


 If too liquid, raise heat to high and continue cooking, stirring


 constantly, about 1 more minute. Spoon sauce over fish.
