How to cook Fried hollow fish with lemongrass and chili
-
Prepare the hollow fish
Clean the hollow fish, remove the fins and gut it. Then, cut off the head and tail of the fish, and cut the fish body into bite-sized pieces.
-
Marinate the fish
You sequentially add spices such as 2 tablespoons of minced lemongrass, 1/2 tablespoon of salt, 1/2 tablespoon of seasoning powder, 1/2 tablespoon of sugar, 1 tablespoon of chili powder, 1 tablespoon of turmeric powder, and 1 tablespoon of minced garlic into a bowl, mixing the mixture thoroughly.
Then, add the marinating mixture into the bowl containing the fish, mixing well. Marinate the fish for about 15 minutes to allow it to absorb the spices.
-
Fry the fish
Place a pan on the stove, add a moderate amount of cooking oil to the pan, and turn the stove on to medium heat.
When the oil starts to heat up, add the fish pieces one at a time into the pan. Fry for about 2 – 3 minutes until the fish begins to turn golden, then flip to the other side and fry for an additional 2 – 3 minutes. Continue flipping both sides until they are evenly golden and the fish is crispy, then remove the fish to a plate.
To make the fish even more delicious, add about 2 tablespoons of minced shallots and 2 tablespoons of minced garlic into the oil used for frying the fish, sautéing until fragrant. Next, add chopped green onions and the remaining marinating spices into the pan, stir-frying for about 2 minutes before turning off the heat.
Finally, pour this sauce over the fish and it’s ready to enjoy.

When the oil starts to heat up, gently place each piece of fish into the pan. Fry until the fish is cooked and golden brown, then remove the fish to a plate.
Next, place a new pan on the stove over medium heat. Add the fried fish and the sauce into the pan. Stir well for the fish to absorb the sauce and cook until the sauce in the pan boils and thickens, then turn off the heat.

Final product
Taking a bite of the fish, you will hear the “crunch” sound from the crispiness of the fish. The fish is evenly soaked in the sour and spicy tamarind sauce, making it extremely appealing. The fish meat is tender, sweet, and lightly salty.
