each. Remove from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen
paper. Continue until all the sole is fried. - For the sauce, heat the oil in a wok over a medium heat. Add the sugar,
white wine, rice wine and salt, stirring all the time. - Blend the cornflour and stock together, add to the wok and stir until the
sauce thickens. Carefully put the sole pieces in the wok, and turn them a
few times to coat. Serve hot.
