Tilapia with a Korean Style Sauce Korean Food

Main Ingredients

3 Tilapia Fillets (½ lb)

¼ Cup All-Purpose Flour

2 Tbsp Cooking Oil

1 Tbsp Green Onion (Garnish)

Sauce Ingredients

1 Tbsp Soy Sauce

½ Tbsp Water

½ Tbsp Sesame Seeds

1 tsp Hot Pepper Powder

1 tsp Garlic, Minced

½ tsp Sesame Oil

2 Pinches Sugar

Directions

 

Obtain 3 Tilapia fillets (½ lb). You can use either frozen or fresh. If they are frozen, thaw them completely and wipe the extra moisture off with a paper towel. Since you will eat this fish with sauce, you do not have to season or salt them.

 

Obtain about ¼ cup of all-purpose flour. Cover the fish with flour evenly. This is a secret for getting a crispy texture and nice flavor.

 

Fry the fish in an oiled (2 Tbsp cooking oil) nonstick pan on medium-high.

 

Meanwhile mix together all the ingredients for the sauce: 1 Tbsp soy sauce, ½ Tbsp water, ½ Tbsp sesame seeds, 1 tsp hot pepper powder, 1 tsp minced garlic, ½ tsp sesame oil, 2 pinches sugar. If you like a lot of sauce for your fish, you can double the sauce ingredients.

 

Fry one side for about 5 minutes, or until golden brown. Flip the fish and fry for another 5 minutes.

 

Spread some of the sauce on top of the fish evenly.

 

Garnish by sprinkling some finely chopped green onion on top of the sauce.
