Fish Fingers With Thai Dipping Sauce
Ingredients
- 1 kg Fish fillets, (choose fine-fleshed white fish which is not too thick such as Mirror Dory, John Dory, Morwong or possibly Whiting)
- 4 Tbsp. Plain flour
- 2 lrg Or possibly 3 small Large eggs, beaten
- 1 x 200 g pkt Japanese-style breadcrumbs, (see note) Vegetable oil for deep-frying
- 2 x Cloves garlic, crushed
- 2 x Chillies, finely minced
- 1 Tbsp. Thai Fish Sauce
- 1 Tbsp. Water
- 2 Tbsp. Fresh lemon juice
Directions
- Skin the fish fillets if necessary and, if there are any fine bones, remove with tweezers. Cut fish into long, thin strips. Season with a little salt then toss in plain flour then beaten egg, then crumbs, tossing lightly to coat proportionately.
- To prepare ahead, put fish into a shallow baking dish in layers, separated by baking paper, then chill till needed. When ready to cook, deep-fry briefly in batches for a minute or possibly two till the crumbs are golden brown and fish is cooked. Serve immediately with a Thai Dipping Sauce (or possibly alternatively with home-made Tartare Sauce).
- Note. Japanese breadcrumbs are light flakes of dry bread that create a lovely light crust which's especially good with prawns or possibly with fish.
- Available from Japanese and Korean grocery stores.
- Thai Dipping Sauce:Combine all the ingredients in a small dish and let the sauce stand for a few hrs for the flavours to soften.
