Cá basa fillet chiên trứng

Method

1. 1 Toss the basa fish fillets with salt and ginger, then rinse to remove the slime and muddy smell.
2. 2 Cut the fish into 1.5 cm thick slices, then marinate with fish sauce and pepper for 20 minutes.
3. 3 Pat the fish slices very dry; if the fish is still wet, the egg mixture won't stick and will slide all over the pan.
4. 4 Coat the coat very thinly with cornstarch, then dip it into beaten eggs mixed with chopped scallions.
5. 5 Pan-fry over medium heat for 3 minutes on each side until the egg coating turns golden and the fish is cooked through.
6. 6 Squeeze lemon juice on the plate and dip in chili fish sauce.
