Bhubaneswar: A pan-fried battered white fish is a universal dish, and this recipe from Korea is a simple and delicious rendition.
Ingredients
- 1 pound white fish fillets (rinsed and patted dry)
- 3 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 2 eggs
- 3 tablespoons flour
- Cooking oil
Steps to Make It:
- Cut the fish diagonally with the grain so the pieces are about 1 1/2 inch thick. Salt and pepper the fish on all sides.
- Beat eggs with any remaining salt in a bowl. Place bowl next to the stovetop.
- Put flour in a shallow bowl or dish next to the egg.
- Heat up a pan with a few teaspoons of oil over medium heat.
- Dip each fish piece into flour to coat; then dip into egg mixture and place in the frying pan.
- Fry fish for 2 to 3 minutes and then flip over to finish for another 1 to 2 minutes, or until the batter becomes a light yellow. (Try not to overcook, as the fish will become dry.) Remove to paper towels to drain. Serve hot.
- You can enjoy this recipe with some spicy dipping sauce or soy sauce.
Tips:
Almost any white fish works well in this recipe.
