Detailed Steps for Making Fish and Chips
Peel and chop the garlic, it should be minced garlic, not garlic paste or slices.
Chop the onion into small pieces, half a regular-sized onion is enough.
Place the tomatoes near the fire to burn the skin, then rinse them clean under running water.
Cut the tomatoes into small pieces.
Blend the tomatoes in a food processor, add rosemary, chopped basil, chopped parsley, and ground black pepper, mix well.
Heat oil in a pan, add the garlic before the oil is hot, and slowly fry on low heat until fragrant.
Once the garlic turns yellow, add the chopped onion, then add a piece of butter.
After the onion is fragrant, add the tomato sauce, mix well with the garlic and onion, and keep heating over high heat.
Cover with a lid and simmer over medium heat for about 20 minutes, cook the sauce until the flavors blend, adding salt to taste.
Finally, put the cooked tomato sauce in a food processor, squeeze some lemon juice, and blend into a smoother sauce.
The sauce is tangy and flavorful, very delicious. Besides pairing with fish and chips, it also goes well with toasted bread slices or Chinese steamed buns, or even with pasta.
Cut the fish into clean fillets, any type of fish can be used. Cut the fish into small strips, place in a bowl, add white wine, salt, and ground black pepper, mix well. Then add an egg white, 40g of sweet potato starch, and 10g of all-purpose flour, mix thoroughly, adding a little water as needed. Heat oil in a pan to fry the fish. When the oil is about 60% hot, fry the fish pieces one by one, remove when set, then fry again for color, and the fish is ready.
Peel and cut the potatoes into thick strips, boil until 70% cooked, drain and pat dry with kitchen paper if needed. Once the fish is fried, fry the potato strips until crispy and slightly browned, then remove from the oil.
Now it’s time to plate, slice a few lemons, arrange the fried chips and fish on a plate, and serve with the prepared sauce.
Also, serve with a glass of lemonade, which is simple to make. Brew a pot of black tea, add lemon slices and honey for a refreshing drink.
