  • Just thinking about how good fried flounder is gets my mouth watering. You might figure there's nothing to plain fried flounder — but Korean recipes prove otherwise, and this one is finger-licking good. Today we're sharing exactly that. In its original form, this dish is meant for the grill, but not everyone has one at home, so let's make this beauty on the stovetop instead — it turns out absolutely gorgeous. (If you do use a grill, remember to baste the fish with the sauce as it cooks.) So, here's Korean-style fried flounder. Clean the fish, remove the fins, and score it with shallow cross-hatch cuts so the surface looks like a lattice. Now make the seasoning: finely mince the garlic and green onion, then add almost everything else — the soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, sesame seeds, sesame oil, and ground red pepper. Stir it well and set it aside to let the flavors meld. Dredge the fish in flour. Once the skillet is hot, add the flounder pieces and fry them about 5 minutes per side. Then spoon the prepared sauce over each side and keep frying until the fish is cooked through. To keep it from falling apart, flip it with two spatulas. Serve with vegetables and mashed potatoes. Enjoy!
