Rang Muối – Salt and Pepper Seasoning is a common way to prepare seafood dishes in Vietnamese cuisine. You can use the same recipe below for other seafood, such as fish fillets (cá rang muối), crab (cua rang muối), lobster (tôm hùm rang muối), scallop (sò diệp rang muối), squid (mực rang muối), etc…Adjust the amount of seasoning for other seafood dishes, of course. In this cooking technique, you would deep fry the seafood, then toss it in onion and jalapeno pepper stir fried in oil to increase the dish fragrance and flavors. After that, finish the dish by sprinkling salt and pepper seasoning on top.
Commonly, we use cornstarch for deep frying seafood because it’s crispier and lasts longer. But if you don’t have cornstarch available, you can use tapioca starch to coat the seafood, it would also do the job well.
