Five Spice Fish

The original recipe I found was under the title Hong Kong Fish and it intrigued me so much I had to look at it and from what I saw the main difference between our fish and Hong Kong Fish is the type of sauce it is served with. In Hong Kong it is usually served with a Tomato Sauce, Corn Sauce or Black Pepper Sauce but since I didn’t feel like making a sauce I simply left that part out.

Here’s how we do this one.

Shopping list:

• 4 Basa filets
• 1 cup Flour
• 1/2 cup Cornstarch
• 3 tablespoons Chinese Five Spice
• 1 1/2 teaspoons Salt
• 1 1/2 teaspoons Ground Pepper
• 2 large Eggs 
• 2 teaspoons Water
• Green Onion for garnish.
• Canola oil for frying 

Putting it all together:

1. Preheat the oil in a large pan.
2. In a non reactive bowl mix all the dry ingredients together.
3. In a separate bowl mix together the eggs and water.
4. Dredge the filets in the egg mixture and then in the flour mix.
5. Fry the filets in the oil until golden brown.
6. Remove to papers towels to drain. and garnish with green onion
7. Enjoy.
