Instructions

Firstly, we should prepare ingredients for this food. Cut 3 slices of ginger. finely chop and save them for later. Cut 1 bunch of green onion. Then save them for later.
Next, we should prepare 700g small croakers for this food. Use the scissors to remove the head and gut of the croaker. Then use water to wash them. Then save them for later.
Next, we should marinate the croakers. Firstly, add ginger, green onion, 1/4 teaspoon monosodium glutamate, 1/2 tablespoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon sugar, 1 tablespoon cooking wine, 5g Sichuan peppercorns into the pot. Then rub them evenly. Then add croakers into the pot. Stir them evenly. Then marinate the croakers for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, remove other ingredients on the surface of the crokers. Then save them for later.
Next, we should prepare the frying paste. Add 20g flour, 10g corn starch, 1/4 teaspoon salt, one egg into the pot. Stir them evenly. The egg will add flavor to the croakers when we fry them later. Then save them for later.
Now, we can start to fry the croakers. Firstly, put the croakers into the frying paste. Stir them evenly. Then add enough sunflower oil into the pan. Make sure the oil can immerse the croakers later. Use a big fire to heat the oil. Put a drop of frying paste into the pan, if it floats quickly that means the oil is hot enough. Then transfer to medium heat and put the croakers into the pan. Please don't put them in the same place. If you put them in the same place, they are easy to stick together. If the pan doesn't have enough space to hold all of the croakers, we can fry them in batches. After the croaker is fried to golden yellow, drain it out of the oil. After that, keep the same temperature and put the croakers into the pan to deep fry for 10 seconds. After that, we got the delicious fried croaker.
