This dish is served daily by tens
of thousands of small noodle and dumpling shops across Taiwan.
As a salty/spicy snack, it also goes well with an ice-cold
beer or two.
Serves 4–6
Ingredients
80 g (3 oz) dried fish fry (4–6 cm length)
100 g (3.5 oz) cooked peanuts (with or without skins)
2 cups vegetable oil
2–3 large green or red chillies, sliced diagonally
3 cloves garlic, chopped roughly
3 stalks spring onions, chopped
1 tablespoon rice wine
Pinch pepper
Method
- Heat oil in a saucepan to 120 degrees C.
(248 F.) and deep fry fish for about 1 minute. Remove and
drain.
- Heat wok, add about 2 tablespoons of the
oil. One by one add chilli peppers, spring onions, garlic, and
rice wine, and stir-fry for 2 minutes.
- Add fish and peanuts,
stir fry for 4 or 5 minutes.
Notes: For a spicier version, add 1 teaspoon
of chilli oil or chilli sauce. Some restaurants have a sweet
version. Just add a teaspoon of sugar. In Taiwan fish fry are
usually Silver-stripe round herring (Spratelloides
gracilis).
