Fry the Ingredients
First, coat the fish with crispy frying flour on all sides so that when frying, the fish becomes crispier. Next, add the remaining 90ml of cooking oil to the pan, when the oil is hot, fry the ginger and cilantro first so that they will add aroma to the fish when frying.
Add the fish and fry until golden brown over medium heat for about 3 – 4 minutes.
Tip: To ensure the cilantro is dry when frying, remove any excess water, as it will cause the oil to splatter.
