Ingredients
- 5 pieces of pindang tongkol (a type of Indonesian mackerel)
- 1 egg
- A pinch of salt
- Cooking oil, as needed
Instructions
-
Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a small bowl, beat the egg until well combined. Add a pinch of salt and mix thoroughly.
-
Coat the Fish: Dip each piece of pindang tongkol into the egg mixture, ensuring the fish is well-coated.
-
Heat the Oil: In a frying pan, heat a sufficient amount of cooking oil over medium heat.
-
Fry the Fish: Once the oil is hot, carefully place the coated pindang tongkol into the pan. Fry until the fish is golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.
-
Drain and Serve: Remove the fish from the pan and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Serve hot and enjoy the crispy, flavorful fish with its savory egg blanket.
This dish combines the rich, tangy flavor of pindang tongkol with a delicate egg coating, providing a delightful and satisfying meal.
