    Method

    • Step-by-Step Method for Fried Mullet with Sweet and Sour Sauce
    • Pat mullet fillets dry with paper towels to remove any surface moisture
    • In a bowl, combine flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika
    • Dredge each mullet fillet thoroughly in the seasoned flour mixture until evenly coated
    • Place coated fillets on a clean plate; let rest 5 minutes to help coating adhere
    • Pour vegetable oil into a frying pan; heat over medium-high until shimmering but not smoking
    • Carefully add mullet fillets to hot oil in a single layer; fry 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through
    • Remove fried fillets and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil
    • In a saucepan, combine white vinegar, sugar, ketchup, soy sauce, grated ginger, garlic powder, and ground black pepper
    • Stir sauce mixture over medium heat until sugar dissolves and sauce becomes slightly syrupy, about 3–4 minutes
    • Taste sauce and adjust seasoning if desired; keep warm
    • To serve, arrange fried mullet fillets on a warmed platter or individual plates
    • Drizzle sweet and sour sauce generously over fillets or serve on the side for dipping
    • Garnish with thinly sliced scallions or fresh herbs if desired (optional and not in ingredient list, so skip for strict adherence)
    • Pair with steamed rice or sautéed greens for a balanced meal (serving suggestion)
    • Serve immediately for optimal crispness
