  1. Heat the cooking oil.

  2. Rinse the fish. Pat dry with a kitchen towel. Sprinkle with salt. Dredge in starch.

  3. Fry until a light crisp golden crust forms. Scoop out and set aside. Keep warm.

  4. With a mortar and pestle (or a blender or food processor), process the garlic, shallots (or onion), lemongrass and chilies to a paste.
