Ingredients:

1kg tilapia fish (cleaned well)
Spices: garlic, chilies, coriander leaves, olive oil, fish sauce, sugar

Process:

Step 1: After clean well tilapia fish, cut gently some lines on its body to absorb spices easily and fry quickly. Wait to get dry.
 

 

Step 2: Heat the oil (make sure it will cover all fish body when frying). Here is also the most important step to create one of amazing Vietnamese Fish Recipes; that is why you should not neglect when frying. When oil is hot, put fish in pan.
 

 

Step 3: After one side of fish turn yellow, change to another side. In my cooking experiences, you should fry twice to keep its crispy longer. After first frying, put on plate added paper napkin to absorb wasted oil; wait for 15 minutes and bring to fry again with new oil until its skin turns brown yellow.
 

 

Step 4: Making dipping fish sauce: Mix 3 tablespoons fish sauce, 1 teaspoon sugar, 1 teaspoon minced garlic + chili, stir well. Or you can follow the process for making sauce in last post if you want to maintain in for many days after.
