Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Fish skin
- 50 grams Rice flour
- 25 grams Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 120 milliliters Water
- 500 milliliters Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
Begin by thoroughly cleaning fish skin under cold running water to remove any scales or leftover flesh. Pat them dry completely with paper towels.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine rice flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper.
Gradually add water to the dry mixture, whisking continuously until you have a smooth, slightly thick batter.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan or wok over medium-high heat. The oil should reach 180°C (350°F) for optimal frying.
Dip each piece of fish skin into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated.
Carefully place the battered fish skin into the hot oil without overcrowding the pan. Fry in batches if necessary.
Fry the fish skins for 3-4 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried fish skins from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Allow the crispy fish skins to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy as a snack or use as a crunchy topping for salads or soups.
