Step 1
Preheat your grill or broiler to high. Pat the 1.5 lb fish fillets dry and season with salt and pepper.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp chili flakes, and 2 tbsp water. Brush half over the fish.
Step 3
Grill the fish for 4-5 minutes per side, until it flakes easily with a fork and is lightly charred at the edges.
Step 4
While the fish cooks, bring 2 cups water to a simmer in a wide pan. Add 2 cups bean sprouts and 1 cup tofu skin strips, cook for 2 minutes until tender.
Step 5
Transfer the vegetables and broth to a serving dish, top with the grilled fish, pour over the remaining sauce, and scatter with 3 sliced green onions.
