Bring to a boil over moderate heat, stirring. Add the carrot, green pepper and scallions and bring to a boil. Stir the cornstarch mixture, then add it to the pan; stir until the sauce boils and thickens, about 30 seconds. Remove from the heat and cover. Set a large skillet over high heat for 30 seconds. Add the peanut oil and when a wisp of white smoke appears, add the swordfish steaks and 1 slice of the ginger. Reduce the heat to moderate and cook the fish for 4 minutes. Turn the steaks, add the remaining slice of ginger and cook until the fish is just opaque, about 4 minutes longer. Transfer the swordfish to plates, spoon the sauce on top and serve.

Suggested Pairing All this swordfish needs is a tart, refreshing white that can act as a flavor foil for the richness of the fish and the sweet yet tangy sauce. That's Sauvignon Blanc territory. Two good options are the Geoff Merrill from Australia and the Bernardus from California. Rate it Print
