"Like sunflower seeds" — this expression is often used to highlight how quickly something tasty and appetizing is eaten, such as fried capelin. There can never be too many small fish prepared in a large amount of sizzling oil and covered with a delicious crust. You don't need to prepare anything else for a get-together with friends; you can simply serve a heap of golden capelin — crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Perfect with beer. We offer the simplest recipe with minimal ingredients. No spices are needed. Why overshadow the pleasant taste of this healthy fish! Maybe just a slice of lemon to squeeze juice on the aromatic fried capelin.

Thaw the capelin and rinse. Gut it if desired, but this is not necessary. Place the washed fish in a colander and lightly dry. You can use paper towels.

Mix flour and salt in a large bowl. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan. In small portions, roll the fish in flour, shaking off any remaining flour.

Place flour-breaded capelin in a frying pan in portions, fry the fish on both sides until golden brown. Remove to a plate lined with paper napkins.

We're preparing a vibrant, aromatic appetizer with a rich flavor and a subtle spicy kick. Korean-style oyster mushrooms with vegetables can be served alongside roasted chicken, shashlik, or as an accompaniment to potatoes, rice, or other side dishes. They taste even better the next day, once the flavors have melded further. The tender mushrooms absorb the spicy marinade, carrots add a sweet crunch, onions provide juiciness, and garlic contributes its characteristic pungent note. The dish is simultaneously fresh, spicy, and very appetizing, with a pleasant balance of sour, salty, and hot. Optionally, you can add bell pepper, sesame seeds, and a touch of soy sauce for a deeper flavor.

Zucchini fried with soy sauce and garlic is a simple yet surprisingly vibrant dish, where the tender texture of the vegetables meets the rich spiciness of Eastern flavors. When pan-fried, the zucchini becomes soft inside and lightly browned on the outside, while the soy sauce imparts a noble salty-umami note. Garlic releases its aroma, adding piquancy and a subtle kick that perfectly highlights the taste of young zucchini.

This dish cooks quickly, and the result delights with a harmony of tastes and aromas, creating a sense of home comfort with a subtle culinary accent of the East.

Cream with a higher percentage of fat has a more pronounced creamy taste and makes the sauce thicker. The finished shrimp can be served either with or without a side dish. Either way, it will be delicious.
