Ingredients

• 4 pieces Tilapia fillets
• 4 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Mirin (sweet rice wine)
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 cup Potato starch
• 2 cups Vegetable oil
• 4 pieces Lemon wedges
• 1 cup Shredded cabbage

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the tilapia fillets and pat them dry with paper towels. Cut each fillet into bite-sized pieces, about 2 inches wide.

Step 2

In a bowl, combine soy sauce, mirin, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Mix well to make the marinade.

Step 3

Place the tilapia pieces in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the fish and ensure all pieces are well-coated. Let the fish marinate for 15-20 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Step 4

While the fish marinates, heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or pot to 350°F (175°C). Ensure the oil is at least 2 inches deep.

Step 5

Prepare a shallow dish with potato starch. After marinating, remove the tilapia pieces from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and coat them evenly in the potato starch.

Step 6

Carefully place the coated tilapia pieces into the hot oil, frying in small batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Fry for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the pieces are golden brown and crispy.

Step 7

Remove the fried tilapia from the oil and drain on a wire rack or paper towels to remove excess oil.

Step 8

Serve the Tilapia Tatsuta Age hot, garnished with lemon wedges and a side of shredded cabbage if desired. Enjoy!
