Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bangus (Milkfish) belly fillets
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Cornstarch
- 2 Eggs
- 2 cups Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Scallions, sliced
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.
Place the Bangus belly fillets in the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
In a shallow dish, combine all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and salt. Mix well to create the coating mixture.
Beat the eggs in a separate bowl.
Dredge each marinated Bangus belly fillet in the flour mixture, ensuring every side is evenly coated. Shake off any excess flour.
Dip each coated fillet into the beaten eggs, making sure it is completely covered.
Re-dredge the egg-coated fillets in the flour mixture to enhance the crispy texture.
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches around 350°F (175°C).
Carefully place the fillets into the hot oil, frying them for 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Once cooked, remove the fillets from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Garnish with sliced scallions before serving hot for maximum crispiness and flavor.
