Crispy Karaage (deep fried) Pangasius with Youlin Sauce

Crispy Karaage (deep fried) Pangasius with Youlin Sauce Seafood

Frozen Pangasius fillets are very handy and not expensive. They are easy to store and the boneless fish fillets are not smelly at all.

We often deep fry Pangasius.

Today, I battered them with cornstarch, fried them, and added the Youlin sauce which is a sweet vinegar soy sauce with chopped garlic, onion and ginger. 

Ingredients for Crispy Karaage Pangasius with Youlin Sauce:

  • Pangasius: 400g
  • Cornstarch
  • Green part of green onion (for topping)
