Cooking Instructions
- 1
Make few shallow cuts on fish. Dry fish well with paper towel. Especially inside head and belly. Sprinkle some salt and pepper on and inside fish. Let it rest for few minutes
- 2
Meanwhile, heat up about 2 cups of oil in a 10 inch pan (or big enough for the size of fish, of course more oil) on medium heat for about 10 or more minutes.
- 3
Sprinkle potato starch abundantly on and inside of fish. Shake off excess potato starch. Check oil temperature. Use thermometer or chopstick. Put fish in and fry for 12 to 15 minutes on each side. I had to do this because my pan was little too small for the fish (picture).

After finish frying both side, remove fish to a plate. Turn heat down to low. Meanwhile make the sauce.
- 5
Dilute 1/2 TBS potato starch and 1/2 TBS water in a small bowl. Put soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, fish sauce and tomato ketchup in a saucepan. Boil on medium heat while stirring. Add diluted potato starch in, keep stirring until it boils. Remove from stove, add minced garlic and ginger.
- 6
Turn back heat to medium high for the oil pan. Check temperature. When oil is ready, fry fish one more time for crunchiness. About 1 1/2 minute for each side. Remove fish to serving plate.
- 7
Pour sauce over fish. Garnish with some julienned green onion, carrot, ginger and cilantro.
- 8
Serve with hot rice.

Tofu with Imitation Crab and Eggs In Sweet and Sour Ketchup Sauce Tofu with Imitation Crab and Eggs In Sweet and Sour Ketchup Sauce
I wanted to eat tofu in a different way than I usually do, so I thought this up. I mixed my favorite ketchup with vinegar, and was able to come up with this mild sweet and sour ketchup sauce.1) When not using honey for the sauce, a tablespoon of sugar should suffice.2) Make sure to thoroughly drain the tofu. If you want to sweeten it, add sugar in 1/2 tablespoon intervals to taste. When you mix in the water, this is useful because the water from the tofu will drain out and mix with the ankake.3) I used a small 200g package of firm tofu. You can use silken tofu, but be aware that it breaks apart easily. Recipe by MilkLove -
