Ingredients

  • 4 fresh small salmon or snapper
  • 3 tablespoons peeled and finely grated fresh ginger
  • 2 fresh red chiles, mashed into a pulp
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1-1/2 cups vegetable oil

Directions

1

1 Scale and clean all the fish, remove the gills, and cut off the fins and the tails. Lay the fish flat on a chopping board, and make 2 deep but short diagonal cuts in each side, leaving 1/2 inch between the 2 cuts.

2

2 Prepare the seasoning by mixing the ginger, chiles, and salt into a paste, and stuff some in the cuts on both sides of each fish. Rub some of the remaining paste all over the fish.

3

3 Heat the oil in a deep skillet, and deep-fry each fish until crisp and golden brown, being careful not to overcook. Remove from the oil and drain.

4

4 Serve hot.
