Ingredients

Directions

  1. Steam the catfish fillets in a steamer basket over boiling water for 8 minutes, until just opaque and tender.
  2. Meanwhile, heat 4 tablespoons of oil in a small pan over medium heat and fry the sliced garlic until crisp and golden, then set aside on paper towels.
  3. Pat the steamed fish dry with paper towels to ensure crispiness.
  4. Heat 2 cups of vegetable oil in a wok or deep skillet over medium-high heat.
  5. Carefully add the fish fillets to the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  6. Remove the fried fish and drain on paper towels.
  7. In a small bowl, combine the julienned green mangoes, fried garlic, and finely shredded ginger.
  8. Mound the mango mixture in the center of a large serving platter.
  9. Arrange the crispy fried fish around the mango salad.
  10. In a small bowl, whisk together brown sugar, fish sauce, and lime juice until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  11. Drizzle most of the dressing over the mango mixture and the remainder over the fried fish.
  12. Garnish with sliced red chili peppers and fresh coriander leaves.
  13. Serve immediately while the fish is still hot and crispy.
