Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bangus (milkfish) belly
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 cup Coconut flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Coconut oil
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges
- 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley
Instructions
Rinse bangus belly pieces under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
Season the bangus on both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Set aside.
In a shallow bowl, add the coconut flour.
In another bowl, beat the eggs until smooth.
Dredge each piece of bangus belly in coconut flour, making sure each piece is well-coated.
Dip the floured bangus belly into the beaten eggs and let any excess egg drip off.
Heat coconut oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat.
Once hot, carefully place the bangus belly into the pan. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the pan and let drain on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Serve your crispy fried bangus belly with lemon wedges and a sprinkle of chopped parsley for garnish.
