Detailed Steps for Cooking Mantou Fish with Flour Coating
Wash the small mantis fish and soak it in the seasoning sauce made of cooking wine, salt, sugar, etc. for about half an hour to remove the fishy smell and marinate it.
Add egg, water, salt, sugar and other seasonings to the flour to make a batter.
Pour a little more oil into a small pot and heat it up (to save oil, you can use a small soup pot or milk pot at home).
Coat the marinated small mantis fish with the batter.
Fry until golden brown. You can fry them again for a more crispy texture.
Remove from the pot, drain the oil, plate it, and serve.
If there is still batter and oil left, you can fry eggplant slices. Cut the eggplant into thick slices.
