Making

Soak the fish in diluted salt water for about 10 minutes, then clean the intestines, keeping the scales and tail intact. Remove the fishy smell and slime by rubbing the ginger with coarse salt and rinsing. Let the fish drain thoroughly before frying.

Wash and drain herbs. Peel and mince garlic, onion, and ginger. Remove seeds and slice chili.

Put the ready-made fish sauce in a bowl, mix it with some minced garlic, a little seasoning powder, lemon juice, a few slices of chili, and a little sugar (depending on your taste). If you don't like fish sauce, you should prepare a bowl of fish sauce with garlic and chili to dip the fish in.

Frying fish: Use a large pan, fill with oil, sprinkle a little salt to limit oil splashing while frying. After cleaning and draining the fish, slowly lower the fish, following the edge of the pan. Use a ladle to drizzle hot oil over the entire fish until the scales are puffed up.

Reduce heat and fry until one side is golden brown and crispy, then flip the other side until cooked through.

Remove the fish, drain the oil (or line with oil-absorbing paper), place on a plate, sprinkle some roasted peanuts on the fish, arrange with fresh noodles, raw vegetables, rice paper rolls, cucumber, and thinly sliced ​​star fruit.

You can also use an air fryer to fry fish instead of cooking oil to make the dish less greasy. However, it should be noted that frying elephant ear fish this way may not be as crispy and beautiful as when using cooking oil.
