A tangy, slightly sweet sauce does double duty here served over fish and tossed into a noodle stir-fry. Smarts: Any white fish will work in this recipe. The cook times assume thin white fish filets like tilapia, but adjust if using a thicker filet.
Bell peppers / Carrots - (If prepping right before cooking, get oven heating first.) Prep as directed and combine. (Can be done up to 5 days ahead)
Make sauce - Grate ginger. Chop green onions. Combine ginger, soy sauce, first portion of water, mirin, and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add green onions to sauce. When sauce is simmering, combine second portion of water and cornstarch. Pour into sauce and continue simmering until sauce thickens slightly, ~1 minute. (Can be done up to 5 days ahead)
Cook noodles - Boil lo mein noodles according to package directions. (Can be done 1 day ahead)
Lemons - Slice into wedges.
Fish - Rinse and pat dry. Season with some salt and pepper.
