Ingredients

Instructions

1. Cut each fish into thin slices, about 7-8 per fish. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry with paper towel.
2. Blend the ginger, garlic, onion, green onion, celery, parsley and bouillon powder with 2 tablespoons of water into a paste.
3. Rub 1/4 teaspoon of salt and a heaping tablespoon of the marinade into the fish with your hands so it coats all sides. Set aside.
4. Set aside 1/4 cup of the flour on a plate. To the rest of the flour, add a tablespoon of marinade, the baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon of salt and half the water, and mix until smooth. Then add the remaining water to make a batter about as thick as thick crepe batter.
5. Heat oil on high for about 5 minutes, then reduce to medium.
6. Coat each fish slice in the flour from the plate, dip it in the batter to coat well, and place it in the oil. Repeat with all the fish.
7. Fry on medium heat about 5 minutes per side. The fish should spend 10-15 minutes in the oil in total.
8. Remove when golden brown and drain on paper towel.
