Sure, here's a recipe for crispy pan-fried red tilapia fish Vietnamese-style:
Ingredients:
- 2 red tilapia fish fillets (you can adjust the quantity depending on your preference)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- Oil for frying (vegetable oil or any oil with a high smoke point)
- Rinse the tilapia fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. This helps remove any excess moisture, which will ensure a crispier result when frying.
- In a shallow dish or bowl, combine the minced garlic, fish sauce, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, and black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.
- Place the tilapia fillets in the marinade, making sure they are evenly coated. Allow them to marinate for at least 15-20 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Heat oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Make sure there is enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan.
- While the oil is heating, dredge the marinated tilapia fillets in all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess flour.
- Once the oil is hot, carefully place the coated tilapia fillets in the pan. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan; you may need to fry the fillets in batches.
- Fry the tilapia fillets for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Use a spatula to carefully flip them halfway through the cooking process.
- Once the fillets are cooked through and crispy on both sides, transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
- Serve the crispy pan-fried red tilapia fish hot with steamed rice and your favorite dipping sauce or alongside a fresh salad.
