Crispy Wok-Fried Hairtail Recipe Golden and Crunchy

The secret to flavorful hairtail is a good ginger-scallion marinade. Chinese cooking wine, ginger, scallions, salt, and white pepper help season the fish before frying. After marinating, each piece gets a thin, even coating of cornstarch to help create that beautiful golden crust.
Pan-fry the fish over medium heat, and resist the urge to move it too soon. Once the first side is golden and set, gently flip it and fry the other side until crispy.
The result is fragrant, golden fish with a satisfying crunch and tender flesh inside. Serve it hot with a bowl of steamed rice for a delicious homemade Chinese meal! 🍚
