Peanut oil for deep frying - enough to cover the fish
Corn Starch
Chili Saucesalt
garlic cloves
red pepper flakes
soy sauce
fish sauce
coriander

Directions(make the sauce)

Clean the guts out of the fish and remove the scales. Wash and pat dry. Rub the fish with the salt, then make 3-4 deep slices into both sides of the fish. Rub the fish with corn starch including into the slices.

Deep fry on medium heat until crispy and golden brown. Set the fish aside on a rack or plate.

Place the fish on a serving platter. Pour the sauce over the fish and garnish with a few sprigs of coriander.

You can use fish fillets instead of a whole fish. Just make sure they're thick enough as to be soft & meaty inside after frying.
