Brilio.net - Anchovies have become a widely known and loved food. One of the most popular anchovy dishes is fried anchovies, a simple yet very appetizing dish. The simplicity of fried anchovies does not reduce their deliciousness, even making them a favorite choice for many food lovers.
In addition to being enjoyed directly after being fried, anchovies can also be further processed with various spices and chili sauces . Some variations that are often found include anchovies with balado spices, green chili sauce, or sambal matah, each of which gives a unique taste to the anchovy dish.
To get a crispy and long-lasting fried anchovy texture, some people use the method of soaking anchovies in rice water or warm water before frying. Although this method is proven to be effective, the process takes longer in preparing to cook fried anchovies.
However, there is a more practical solution to produce crispy and long-lasting fried anchovies without a long process. This method was introduced through the YouTube channel @mamaEzy, offering a more efficient alternative way for fried anchovy fans.
As reported by BrilioFood from YouTube @mamaEzy on Friday (11/10), wash the anchovies thoroughly before processing them to remove any dirt that may be stuck to them. Drain and place in a container.
"If you sprinkle enough salt, it will taste delicious and really kick," he explained.

Add lime juice. In addition to adding flavor, lime juice can also help remove the fishy smell of anchovies. Stir until all ingredients are evenly mixed.

If it feels enough, pour the seasoned flour in another container first. Then move the anchovies gradually, squeezing until the entire surface is coated with the seasoned flour.

When all surfaces are coated with flour, put the anchovies into hot cooking oil. Use medium heat and don't forget to always stir the anchovies during the frying process.

When the color is already yellowish brown, immediately lift it with a strainer. Wait a few minutes until the cooking oil content is reduced. If so, the fried anchovies are ready to be served.
