Red Snapper Angsio

When I was in Indonesia, I lived around Chinese community. Even though I don't celebrate Chinese New Year, I sometimes say "Gong Xi Fat Choi" to my Chinese friends. Don't forget Indonesian culinary is also influenced by Chinese culinary, so I used to have Chinese food almost everyday.

My mom loved to cook Chinese food beside cooking Sumatran or Javanese food and baking traditional/modern cakes and one of her cook was Angsio Kakap. I have no idea what angsio is in English nor in Bahasa Indonesia, but I do love this food. This food could be translated as Breaded Red Snapper with Sweet Sour Sauce.

It's supposed to use a whole of red snapper, not red snapper fillets, and coat it in flour and deep fry. Since I'm lazy to use deep fry, I used bake method.
