This is a terrific and simple fish dish. I've made it for many years. This is best with a flaky fish such as cod or snapper but tilapia will work, too. A Jeff Smith/Frugal Gourmet recipe.

Ingredients

4 serv.
  • white fish fillets, cut into nuggets1 1⁄2 lbs
  • light soy sauce1 tablespoon
  • sesame oil1 tablespoon
  • flour, for dredging1 cup
  • egg whites, beaten2
  • white sesame seeds (not toasted... raw)4 tablespoons
  • black sesame seeds (not toasted... raw)4 tablespoons
  • oil, for deep frying

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 1

    Marinate fish in the soy and sesame oil for 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Drain and dust the fish in flour.

  3. 3

    Dip into the egg and then roll in the sesame seeds.

  4. 4

    Deep fry the pieces in 360 degree oil for 4 or 5 minutes. No longer -- the sesame seeds scorch easily and will be bitter.

  5. 5

    Make a simple dipping sauce with some soy sauce diluted with about a 50/50 ratio of water and some fresh grated ginger. Delicious!

  6. 6

    You may need to cook this in two batches so that the temperature of the oil doesn't plummet. The oil needs to maintain a constant 360 temperature if possible.
