- 2 eggs
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Let’s start by preparing the ingredients for our delicious Pollock Jeon!
Step 2
Rinse the 3 packs of pollock fillets thoroughly and pat them dry. Cut them into bite-sized pieces, about 5-7cm long. Avoid cutting them too small, as they might break apart during cooking.
Step 3
Sprinkle a little salt and pepper over the cut pollock pieces for seasoning. This step helps to remove any fishy smell and seasons the fish from the inside out, making it more flavorful. Let it marinate for about 5 minutes.
Step 4
Generously coat the seasoned pollock with frying powder. Gently toss them with your hands to ensure the frying powder evenly covers the surface of the fish. This coating is key to achieving a crispy texture when fried.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, crack 2 eggs. Whisk them vigorously with a fork or whisk until the stringy part of the egg is broken and the mixture becomes slightly foamy. This creates your egg batter.
Step 6
Dip the frying powder-coated pollock pieces into the egg batter, ensuring they are fully submerged and coated on all sides. The egg batter helps the frying powder adhere better and contributes to a richer, crispier result.
Step 7
Heat a frying pan over medium-low heat and add a generous amount of cooking oil. Once the oil is sufficiently hot, carefully place the egg-coated pollock pieces in the pan, arranging them neatly. Begin to pan-fry until golden brown on one side.
Step 8
Once the first side is golden brown and crispy, flip the pollock pieces to cook the other side to a similar color. Cook each side for about 3-4 minutes, ensuring the fish is cooked through and the exterior is wonderfully crisp. Add a little more oil in the middle if needed.
Step 9
When both sides are beautifully golden brown and appetizing, your Pollock Jeon is ready! It boasts a perfectly crispy exterior and a wonderfully tender, moist interior. Enjoy it while it’s warm for the best texture.
Step 10
Serve your homemade Pollock Jeon with a warm soy dipping sauce or a sweet and tangy ketchup. These delicious Pollock Jeon, perfect for any holiday feast, will surely be a hit with the whole family. Enjoy cooking and eating!
