Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Yellowtail

    Slice the yellowtail sashimi into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Make the Breading Station

    In one bowl, mix the cornstarch, salt, and pepper. In another bowl, beat the egg. In a third bowl, place the panko breadcrumbs mixed with chili flakes.

  3. 3

    Bread the Yellowtail

    Dip each piece of yellowtail first in the cornstarch mixture, then in the beaten egg, and finally coat it with panko breadcrumbs.

  4. 4

    Fry the Yellowtail

    In a deep skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Fry the breaded yellowtail pieces until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a small bowl, mix together sriracha, soy sauce, and lemon juice for a spicy dipping sauce.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Garnish the fried yellowtail with chopped green onions and serve with the spicy dipping sauce.
