Servings 5
Ingredients
- 450 grams fresh or frozen dulong or silverfish also called noodle fish, see note 1
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 eggs
- 3 tbsp all purpose flour
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp pepper
Instructions
- Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a frying pan.
- In a large bowl, Add the garlic, onion, eggs, flour, and dulong. Mix well by hand or by using two forks.
- Add salt and pepper. To adjust the taste accordingly, fry a small amount of the mixture. Add salt and/or pepper according to your preference.
- Use a spoon to scoop from the mixture and slowly drop them into the heated oil in the pan. Cook for 3-5 minutes on one side until golden and the edges are crisp. Then, flip and cook the other side. (see note 2)
- Drain cooked patties in towel lined plate and serve immediately.
Notes
- Frozen Dulong. If using frozen dulong, thaw it completely then drain in a colander.
- Frying the Omelet. Use a dinner spoon or a slightly bigger one if you prefer. Dropping them in dollops in the oil will create a round patty shape which is what we are going for. Aim to make your circle spread a little bit into a thin layer so the patties cook evenly.
