Ingredients
- 500 grams Bangus belly
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 large Egg
- 0.25 cup Water
- 2 cups Vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the bangus belly under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
Step 2
In a shallow dish, mix together the lemon juice, ground black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Step 3
Coat the bangus belly pieces with the lemon juice mixture, ensuring each piece is well coated. Let it marinate for about 10 minutes.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and paprika. This will serve as the dry coating mix.
Step 5
In another bowl, beat the egg and add the water to create an egg wash.
Step 6
Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat.
Step 7
Take each piece of marinated bangus belly, dip it first into the dry coating mixture, then into the egg wash, and once again into the dry mixture to ensure an even coating.
Step 8
Carefully place the coated bangus belly pieces into the hot oil, frying for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Step 9
Once cooked, remove the bangus from the oil and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 10
Serve immediately with steamed rice or a salad for a complete meal.
