Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Tilapia fillets
- 4 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Mirin (sweet rice wine)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 cup Potato starch
- 2 cups Vegetable oil
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges
- 1 cup Shredded cabbage
Instructions
Rinse the tilapia fillets and pat them dry with paper towels. Cut each fillet into bite-sized pieces, about 2 inches wide.
In a bowl, combine soy sauce, mirin, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Mix well to make the marinade.
Place the tilapia pieces in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the fish and ensure all pieces are well-coated. Let the fish marinate for 15-20 minutes to absorb the flavors.
While the fish marinates, heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or pot to 350°F (175°C). Ensure the oil is at least 2 inches deep.
Prepare a shallow dish with potato starch. After marinating, remove the tilapia pieces from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and coat them evenly in the potato starch.
Carefully place the coated tilapia pieces into the hot oil, frying in small batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Fry for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the pieces are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the fried tilapia from the oil and drain on a wire rack or paper towels to remove excess oil.
Serve the Tilapia Tatsuta Age hot, garnished with lemon wedges and a side of shredded cabbage if desired. Enjoy!
