Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together your batter ingredients. You should have a batter that is slightly runny.
Step 2
Slice your fish filets into 1.5-inch-long strips. Pat dry with a paper towel. Transfer fish pieces into batter and give it a gentle mix with your hands. You may use tongs but be gentle as the fish can fall apart if your mix too roughly.
Step 3
In a wok or medium-large pot, set over medium high heat (180 degrees C to be exact), make sure your oil is hot enough by looking for bubbles after placing a wooden chopstick into it.
Step 4
Once hot, give your fish and batter a gentle mix with tongs and carefully lower one-third of the batch into the hot oil separating the pieces from each other. Do not overcrowd your wok or pot. Fry on both sides until golden crispy brown, about 7 minutes in total. Fry in three batches. Optional: if you want super crispy fish, double fry each batch again for another 2 minutes. Place crispy fish on a cooling rack or a dish lined with paper towel to soak up excess oil.
Step 5
In a small pot, whisk together canned creamed corn, chicken powder, minced garlic, corn starch, water and frozen peas. Bring to a boil.
Step 6
Then lower the heat and in a quick stirring motion, drizzle your whisked egg from a slight height. Remove off stove. Pour sauce over crispy fish or serve separately to keep fish crispy.
