Spicy Fish Stick 香辣炸鱼柳

I discovered a very lovely blog lately which inspired me a lot. Honestly, this is the best fish fillet recipe I've ever tried so far and my children really love it very much. The crust is so crispy and the cooked fillet is not too dry nor too soggy. I'm pairing this fish stick with tom yum fried rice and lettuce salad. Please read on for more.

 (Recipe adapted from here )
Ingredients :
2 slices of dory fish, cut into chunk slices
ground pepper & black pepper
1 cup  all purpose flour for coating

Ingredients for batter :
3/4  cup  all purpose flour
1/4  cup  potato starch
1/2 tspn  black peppercorn, crashed
1 tspn   ground white pepper
3/4 tspn  baking powder
1/4 tspn  baking soda
1/2 tspn  chili flakes (chili powder)
salt to taste
1 cup  cold beer
2 TB  chopped herbs (basil or mint)

Method :
(1)  mix together all the dry ingredients from batter into a big bowl then mix well. Stir in cold beer and chopped herbs till well cooperated. Do not over work the batter. Lumpy is good.
(2)  marinade fish fillet with pepper powder then drench it to plain flour, pressing flour into fish so that it sticks well.

(3)  then place fish fillet to batter, making sure everything is well coated with batter.
(4)  next, deep fried coated fish fillet till golden brown over medium heat.

And ta....da....
