By dedmund

Ingredients

• 400 grams tilapia, deboned
• (Learn how to fillet a fish here)
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 pinch ground pepper
• 3 tablespoons AA powder
• (No AA powder? Use cornstarch instead.)
• 2 to 3 cups vegetable oil
• For the soy vinaigrette Sauce
• (also great for Boneless Crispy Pata)
• 1 tablespoon garlic, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon onion, finely chopped
• 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 1/2 cup vinegar
• 3 pieces siling labuyo
• a pinch of salt

Preparation

Step 1

1 Fillet and pat dry tilapia. Slice into thin strips.

2 Season with salt and pepper, then coat with AA powder.

3 Heat vegetable oil. When it's hot enough for frying, carefully drop in the tilapia fillet strips one by one to prevent them from sticking.

4 Fry until golden brown and crispy. Serve with soy vinaigrette on the side.

5 Make the Soy Vinaigrette Sauce: In a bowl, mix together the following: garlic, onion, soy sauce, vinegar, siling labuyo, salt. Serve with the pata or tilapia. This versatile dipping sauce is great for grilled meats too.
