Crispy Panko Breaded Fish Sticks Recipes

PANKO-BREADED FISH STICKS

Steps:

• Place panko, flour, and eggs in three separate shallow dishes; season flour with salt and pepper.
• Fill a large skillet with enough oil to reach a depth of 1/4-inch; heat over medium-high heat. Working in batches, dredge fish in flour, shaking off any excess; dip into egg. Transfer fish to panko, covering fish completely and pressing lightly to adhere. Arrange fish in the pan in a single layer without crowding; fry until golden and cooked through, about 1 minute per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain; season with salt. Serve immediately.

CRISPY PANKO FISH STICKS

Steps:

• Make the chili malt vinegar: Stir the malt vinegar and chili oil together in a small bowl. You can use the mix as a dip for fish sticks or French fries or also lightly brush it on freshly fried fish sticks.
• Heat the oil: Over medium heat, heat enough oil in a skillet to fill the the skillet about 1 1/2- to 2-inches deep. (I use about two cups of oil in my large skillet.) The oil doesn't need to completely cover the fish sticks. The oil is ready when you can add a few breadcrumbs and they sizzle immediately and float to the top.
