TGIF Frying Anchovies at Home

Happy TGIF everyone, just finish clean up my fridge and found out there a few packets of anchovy that's sitting inside for quite sometimes. Hence, I'm going to fry some anchovy together with @joannewong which also free up some space for my fridge.

Here are some brief step that you can follow,

First, wash clean up the anchovy with water. You can wash them twice if you like your anchovy to be less salty. Once done, filtered out the anchovy from the water and let it drain out.
Use a deep wok or something that has a deep depth, pour in cooking oil. Make sure the oil is deep enough for your anchovy to be fully submerged later to be deep fry evenly, then heat up the oil and wait for it.
Once the oil is heated up, put those anchovies into the oil and let it fry for few minutes (10-15 minutes). You will notice a lot of bubbles coming out, check on the anchovy by stirring them once in a while.
You'll start noticing the bubble is getting lesser and lesser which then you can check whether the colour of anchovies is changing to dark brown.
Take them up once there are in dark brown or brown depending on your preference and lay them down on some kitchen towel, let them cool down for a while.
Finally, put them into an airtight container once they are cool enough to main their freshness and crunchiness.

Fried Anchovy can be complimentary snacks that combo with famous dishes around Malaysia such as Nasi Lemak, Pan Mee (板面) or packed with peanuts to be sold in some mini stores.
