Then, first heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Before frying, the owner of the TikTok account @myresipi sprinkles the oil with wheat flour. This wheat flour is the third ingredient to practice this fish frying trick. Wheat flour is known to absorb water content in fish, so it can prevent the oil from exploding.
Apart from that, wheat flour can also work to prevent the fish skin from sticking to each other or sticking to the bottom of the pan during the frying process. So, after adding the wheat flour and the oil temperature is really hot, then put the fish into the oil one by one.
Fry until one side is browned, then flip the fish and fry again until completely cooked. Finally, remove and drain the fish.
