Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Clean the yellow croaker and cut both sides with a sharp knife; apply an appropriate amount of salt and pepper evenly on both sides and let it rest for a while;

   

2. 2 Then add cooking wine, onion, ginger and Sichuan peppercorns and mix well, then marinate for 20 to 30 minutes;

   

3. 3 Use eggs, flour and starch and a fried batter, add a little salt to enhance the flavor; use beer or water to adjust the appropriate concentration, not too thick or too thin, just enough to hang on the fish. It will be very crispy with beer, but you can also use water; you can also add a little baking powder to get a crispy effect;

   

4. 4 Remove the onion, ginger and Sichuan peppercorns from the pickled fish, pour the fried batter on the fish, and spread evenly on both sides; drain off the excess batter before adding it to the pot;

   

5. 5 Heat a frying pan, add cold oil into the pan, continue to heat until the oil is 50-60% hot, add the marinated fish, and slowly fry over medium-low heat until both sides are golden;

   

6. 6 In the middle, use a spoon to continuously scoop up hot oil and pour it on the fish, especially in the gaps with the knife.

   

7. 7 Dish out and serve! Can be served with salt and pepper -
