Ingredients
- 500 grams Boneless white fish fillets (e.g., cod, tilapia)
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 4 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 4 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 whole Eggs, beaten
- 1 cup Panko bread crumbs
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 500 milliliters Vegetable oil, for frying
- 0.5 cup Sweet chili sauce
- 4 pieces Lime wedges
Directions
Step 1
Pat the fish fillets dry with a paper towel and cut them into 3-inch-long pieces.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, mix soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Add the fish fillets and toss to coat evenly. Marinate for 15 minutes.
Step 3
While the fish is marinating, prepare three shallow bowls: one with cornstarch blended with all-purpose flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko bread crumbs mixed with salt and black pepper.
Step 4
Remove the fish fillets from the marinade, shaking off any excess liquid.
Step 5
Coat each fish piece in the cornstarch-flour mixture, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally dredge it in panko bread crumbs, pressing lightly to ensure even coating.
Step 6
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or wok over medium-high heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F).
Step 7
Carefully add the breaded fish fillets into the oil in small batches, frying for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
Step 8
Transfer the fried fish to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 9
Serve the crispy oriental fish fillets hot with sweet chili sauce on the side and lime wedges for squeezing over the top.
