Homemade recipe for small yellow croaker

When I was a kid, I loved eating potato chips and rice crackers. Now I especially like eating small yellow croakers. Deep-fried small yellow croakers not only have a crispy taste, but are also good for your health. Deep-fried fish bones can be eaten together to supplement calcium without wasting it. Here we introduce the home-cooked method of deep-frying small yellow croakers, so you can enjoy the deliciousness of deep-fried small yellow croakers.

Ingredients for fried small yellow croaker:

Ingredients needed: headless small yellow croaker and Spanish olive oil

​Seasonings needed: Shaoxing wine, salt, pepper, ginger juice and homemade chili pepper salt

Fried small yellow croaker method:

1. Wash and gut the headless small yellow croaker in clean water, dig out the waste inside, drain the water, add Shaoxing wine, salt, pepper, and ginger juice to marinate for 15 minutes.

2. Put the Spanish olive oil prepared in advance into the pot. You can put a little more oil at this time.

3. When the oil in the pan is 60% hot, add the small yellow croaker. Now turn the heat to medium.

4. When one side is fried until golden brown, turn the small yellow croaker over to the other side and fry until golden brown.

5. If both sides are golden brown, it is too crispy and will fall off when you pick it up with chopsticks. At this time, check whether the oil in the pot is clear. You can take out the small yellow croaker and put it on oil-absorbing paper to absorb the oil, and then add homemade chili pepper salt.

6. Here is a tip on how to make homemade chili pepper salt. Put the peppercorns into a pot and fry over low heat until the aroma comes out, then take them out, crush them with a hard object such as a rolling pin, put them back into the pot, add a little salt and fry until they turn yellow.
