   • Rinse the Gurame fish thoroughly with lime juice, then rinse again with water and drain well.
   • Slice the fish fillet thinly across the grain.

2. Season the Fish:

   • Season the fish slices with salt and crushed garlic. Allow the seasoning to penetrate the fish by letting it marinate for at least one hour; refrigerating is an option for better flavor absorption.

3. Coat the Fish:

   • In a shallow dish, combine the flour, cornstarch, and baking soda.
   • Dredge each piece of fish in the flour mixture, ensuring an even coating.
   • Dip the floured fish into the egg whites, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat thoroughly with breadcrumbs. Repeat this process until all fish pieces are coated.

4. Fry the Fish:

   • Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low and fry the fish pieces until they are golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking.

5. Prepare the Sauce:

   • In a small bowl, combine the Bangkok sauce with finely sliced pickled mango. If you enjoy a spicy kick, you can sauté some red chili peppers and garlic, then mix them into the sauce.

6. Serve:

   • Arrange the crispy fish on a serving platter. Spoon the mango sauce over the fish, and garnish with additional pickled mango slices if desired.
   • Serve immediately with steamed rice to enjoy the perfect crispy and tangy combination.

Tips:

• For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding sautéed red chili peppers and garlic to the sauce.
• Ensure the oil is hot enough before adding the fish to achieve a crispy texture.

Enjoy this crispy Gurame with mango sauce as a delightful main course that combines crunchy texture with a refreshing and tangy twist. Perfect for a flavorful meal any day of the week!
