Hot Fish - PF Chang Style

PF Chang has this delicious Hot Fish on the menu that Im sure most of y'all have tried. I have a problem to try and recreate the dishes that I like at my favorite restaurants. I search online for recipes and than tweak them to make them my own, adjust the taste according to my little family's preference.
This recipe might not be the exact replica or copy cat of 'that' hot fish but its right up that alley.
