Heat cooking oil in a pan over medium heat.

Fry the dried fish until golden brown and crispy, about 3-5 minutes per side.

Remove the fish and set aside on paper towels to drain excess oil.

In the same pan, sauté onion, garlic, and ginger until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.

Add bell pepper and carrot, cooking until slightly tender, about 3 minutes.

Pour in vinegar and water, then add sugar, soy sauce, black pepper, and salt.

Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes to blend flavors.

Add the fried fish back into the pan, gently mixing to coat with the sauce.

Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat.

Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
