Crispy Fish with Ginger Flower Sauce (Ikan Rangup dgn Sambal Bunga Kantan)

 I like to buy medium-big size fish & deep fry in whole instead of slicing into smaller size. This way, the outer part is crispy but soft in the inside. See my cooking method below & you will get a crispy fish just like the one served in restaurants....! You can then serve it with any preferred sambal/sauce/gravy. This time I served it with Ginger Flower Sauce..... definitely yummy....!

Serves 5 persons
INGREDIENTS:
1 whole Fish (about 1 kg weight) - I used red snapper this time 
Cornflour
Some Chili Padi* (depends how hot you want it to be) 
2 Red Chili*
2 Green Chili*
1/2 Big Onion*
2 cloves Garlic*
1 Lemongrass*
1 small Ginger Bud/Flower* (* blender) 
1 Tomato - cubed 
1/2 Big Onion - sliced 
1 Lime
Salt

METHOD:
1. Slice both sides of the fish criss-cross like in the picture above.
Rub fish with salt.
Roll it onto cornflour & deep fry in a non-stick wok.
I used less oil than typical deep fry - see picture below - this method, the fish will be very crispy.
Do not flip until one side is really cooked & crispy to prevent it sticking to the wok.
Flip & cook the same way on the other side.
Once cooked, place it on a serving plate.

2. Heat up some oil in a wok & stir fry the blended ingredients until fragrant.
Add in salt, sliced onion & tomato.
Cook for few more minutes until onion is soften.
Served at the side of the fried fish with sliced lime.
