The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.


1 pound tilapia fillets
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1/2 teaspoon five spice powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 pinch brown sugar
4 teaspoons ponzu sauce, divided
1/4 cup cornstarch
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
lemon slices
Mix salt, peppers, five spice powder, garlic powder and sugar in a small bowl.
Sprinkle fish filets on both sides with half of the ponzu sauce, then with seasoning mixture. Set aside.
Heat a large cast-iron or other skillet over medium-high heat.
Add olive oil and heat just to smoking point. Quickly dredge fish in cornstarch and pan-sear. Depending on thickness, cook about one to two minutes per side, or until fish flakes easily with fork. Do not overcook.
Remove fish to platter; sprinkle with fresh lemon juice and remaining ponzu sauce. Garnish with lemon slices and serve immediately.
