👨🍳 步驟
- 1
Prepare the catfish: Cut the catfish fillets into thin strips, about 1 cm thick. Pat them very dry with paper towels. This is crucial for achieving crispiness.
⏱️ 10 minutes - 2
Fry the catfish: Heat the vegetable oil in a wok or deep pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F). Carefully add the catfish strips in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed up, resembling fluffy clouds. Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried catfish and drain on paper towels. The goal is a very light and airy texture.
⏱️ 10 minutes - 3
Prepare the salad base: In a large bowl, combine the grated or julienned green mango, thinly sliced red onion, chopped dried shrimp (if using), and roughly chopped roasted cashews.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 4
Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the fresh lime juice, fish sauce, and palm sugar until the sugar is dissolved. Taste and adjust the seasoning – it should be a balance of sour, salty, and slightly sweet. Add the finely chopped fresh chili to the dressing and stir.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 5
Assemble the salad: Pour the dressing over the mango mixture in the large bowl. Add the chopped cilantro and mint leaves. Toss gently to combine everything evenly.
⏱️ 2 minutes - 6
Serve: Arrange the fluffy fried catfish on a serving platter or individual plates. Spoon the green mango salad generously over the top of the crispy fish. Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast between the crispy fish and the fresh salad.
