Yen Can Cook ~ Pan Fried Golden Pomfret

Golden Pomfret is one of the species under Pomfret family, which includes White/Silver Pomfret and Black Pomfret. 

Golden Pomfret has a flat shape body with subtly sweet taste flesh and firm texture. Golden Pomfret is one of the most farmed fish in Malaysia. It is usually being steamed or pan fried like any other fishes. Today’s recipe is a simple pan fried Golden Pomfret topped with fried ginger and drizzles of soy sauce. 

I recently got this oil proofing lid in Shopee which can be used when frying food, to avoid/reduce oil splattering.  (^_-)v

Ingredients (Serve: 3-4)

1 Golden Pomfret (mine was 400g ±)

1 thumb-sized ginger, shredded

1 teaspoons salt

1.5 teaspoon soy sauce 

Cooking oil

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Step 1: Clean and rinse the Golden Pomfret, then pat dry with paper towels. Score the thickest part of the fish if you got a bigger fish.

Step 2: Sprinkle and rub some salt on both sides, as well as the cavity of the fish. Set the fish aside for 5 minutes.

Step 3: Heat up the cooking oil in a wok/pan and pan fry the fish with medium heat until its skin turns a crispy golden brown on both sides. Remove from the wok and set aside.

Step 4: Add more oil and stir fry the shredded ginger until golden and crunchy. Pour the oil together with the fried ginger on the fried fish (Step 3).

Step 5: Drizzle with soy sauce and serve.

HAPPY COOKING!  #stayhealthy #staysafe
