Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams white fish fillets
- 100 grams cornstarch
- 100 grams rice flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 180 milliliters water
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 500 milliliters vegetable oil
- 2 pieces lemon wedges
Instructions
Begin by patting the fish fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Cut the fish into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornstarch, rice flour, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Gradually whisk in the water to the dry mixture, stirring continuously until you achieve a smooth and slightly thick batter. Adjust the consistency with a little more water if necessary.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pan or pot over medium-high heat until it reaches approximately 180°C (350°F). To test, drop a small amount of batter into the oil; it should sizzle and float to the surface.
Dip each fish piece into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Carefully lower the battered fish into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding.
Fry the fish bites for about 3-4 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Repeat the process until all fish pieces are cooked.
Serve the crispy fish bites hot, garnished with lemon wedges for squeezing over the top.
