Fried Sardines

Porridge reminds me of childhood days...

Porridge with Fried Sardines, Chinese Mustard Greens and Century Egg

Fried Sardines (15 mins)

Fresh sardines, not the canned variety

Oil

1. Wash defrosted sardines under running water. Pat dry with a kitchen towel.
2. Heat up the non-stick frying pan and pour some oil (not too much, we're not deep frying) into it.
3. Line as many sardines as you can in the pan but be sure that they don't overlap.
4. Once they're brown on one side, use a pair of chopsticks to flip 'em over to allow the other side to brown. 
5. Pat away the excess oil from the fried sardines with a kitchen towel.
6. Serve.
