Fried fish is one of the simplest but the most satisfying recipes I love to have over a bowl of hot rice. The lemony juice is optional, but it brings tremendous difference in the flavour of sardines. I enjoy these little fishes with bones, fins and tails everything except the head part. What about you?
INGREDIENTS:
3-4 Sardine (I used frozen)
1-2 teaspoons Cornstarch
3 tablespoons Vegetable Oil
1/3 Lemon
DIRECTION:
1. To clean the sardines, slit open the belly with a knife and remove the guts. Remove the gills and descale the sardines. Rinse them well under running water and then pat them dry with paper towel. If you are using frozen ones, let them thaw at room temperature until they become soft again before cleaning them.
2. In a non-stick frying pan, add vegetable oil. Heat it up over medium heat. Meanwhile, coat each sardine with a thin layer of cornstarch. When the oil is ready, carefully lay them into the pan. Fry until they are crispy and slightly brown; about 5 minutes. Flip the sardines onto the other side; fry for another 5 minutes. Remove them from the heat.
3. To serve, squeeze the lemon juice over sardines before eating.
