you can hear it nice crispy so, eight to ten minutes it will be nicely deep fry
today I will show you deep-fried tilapia fish it's very easy to make and it's super
tasty and super delicious and without wasting time let's get started with the ingredients,
the ingredients I'm going to use the whole tilapia I have two of them
this is the clean no scales and also it's clean from inside
so I washed with cold water and get a paper towel
just make sure it's dried so this is good
I always list the ingredient list under my description so please check it out
it will be in the multi-steps the way I do it if you follow it it's going to be very tasty I use
salt black pepper onion powder garlic powder ginger powder half teaspoon each,
we're going to combine all these spices together
ginger onion powder garlic powder black pepper salt
and with the help of a whisk just mix them together
so the first step will be the marination with these dry spices then the second step will be
a coating of all-purpose flour and then the third step will be egg wash one egg
parsley flake and chili flake one teaspoon each after the egg wash
the final step the fourth step will be salt and black pepper all-purpose flour and cornstarch
and we're going to do the good coating so now we'll get the cutting board
we'll make a nice cut on these tilapias and then we'll marinate them we'll get a cutting board
get a sharp knife
you can do diagonal cut or do you do whatever do you like I prefer this way
just cut deep enough to the bone
it's very nice and clean so we have a nice cut and I'll do the cut on the second one
you can clean up like this so we'll do the same thing we're going to make a cut
like one inch apart and that is perfect
this is very important when you making a cut if you have a dull knife then no good
if you have a sharp knife like this then you just cut through
after doing the cut these are the spices we mix it together so we're going to make sure
we add on the fish and it's a good idea to put it inside the cut and massage it
so turn it over and we do the same thing
so once we're done with the dry spices
get a plate and we're going to get one tablespoon of all-purpose flour
this will be perfect just flatten it and do the coating
or you can hear a lot of fireworks in the background
today is fourth July happy fourth July to each and every one
so make sure that it's nicely coated with the flour and shake up the extra
now we're going to use egg wash
to get a one bowl one egg
chili flake if you don't prefer hot then you can skip it parsley flake and beat it well
now grab the tilapia again and we're going to make sure that we give a good egg wash just
turn it over just like this and then flip it over so make sure that it's nicely coated on all sides
perfect and now I'll grab the second tilapia we'll do the same thing just make sure that it's nicely
coated so now both pieces are coated, any leftover egg we can put it in and we can massage it
this is perfect now it will be the final step we're going to do additional coating I'm going
to use the same plate and we're going to add one tablespoon of all-purpose flour
and half tablespoon cornstarch
we're going to use half a teaspoon of black pepper
and half teaspoon salt and combine it well
once it's nicely combined spread it evenly just like this
and now we're going to grab the tilapia fish again and we're going to give one nice coating
we're going to make sure that it's nicely coated just like this
so shake the extra and get another plate place it on the plate
and the second one we're going to do the same thing
turn it over and do the good coating
shake up the extra and put it on the plate now we're going to heat up our
oil the time is heating up it's going to take 10 minutes to let it sit on the countertop
this is the deep fryer I'm going to use
and I'm using vegetable oil
we're going to fill it up I'll plug it in
and we're going to start it
and we're going to keep the temperature to 350-degree Fahrenheit which is 179-degree
celsius according to this deep fryer the frying temperature for the fish is
179 degrees Celsius and 350 degrees Fahrenheit so keep it at 350 degrees Fahrenheit
so now it's started once it's going to go on a green light
then we'll deep fry our tilapia the light has been turned off and the oil is heated at 350 degrees
Fahrenheit in order to test it get a wooden stick it start bubbling the oil is heated up
one by one we're going to deep fry the tilapia so we're going to place it in
so we're going to deep fry until it's golden brown and that can take 10 to 15 minutes
depending on your fryer, deep frying for exactly 8 minutes and if you notice it's fully fried
and if you another thing if you notice that the fish started to float this is
this is a big tilapia and if you see if I try to press it in it goes down and then it automatically
comes up so this one is cook I'm going to put it right on here so it can drain the extra oil and if
you, you can hear it nice crispy depending on the deep fryer it can take a longer or less minute so
within 10 minutes it can be done in my deep fryer it took only eight minutes the oil is drained
and place the basket in again and we're going to let the temperature
rise up again so there is a lot of fireworks in the background if you hearing it it's 4th July
that's why you can hear the fireworks today is the fourth of July and you can hear the fourth
July fireworks as you see the light has been turned off the temperature come back again
so now we're going to place the second one
so 8 to 10 minutes it will be nicely deep fry
this one was a little smaller tilapia so it's sinking pretty well
so now we'll wait eight to ten minutes
this one we cook only for five minutes and if you see it started to float the same thing
if I press it down it starts to float back again and if we look at it on the top
it's fully cooked so this one takes all together now six minutes the first one took eight-minute
that tilapia was big and this was much smaller so I'll place it here so it can drain the extra oil
there's no more oil we'll take it off and I'm going to turn off the deep fryer,
get my serving platter and I will share with you deep-fried tilapia fish is already as
you've seen it, it did not take that long the first bigger one took eight minutes the
other one took six minutes so depending on your deep fryer it can take 10 to 15 minutes
so this is already and please try it and you're going to like it if you like this recipe like
