Fried fish with egg white batter

Eric really like fried food, but who doesn't? he is like a child who's complain if the dish doesn't fry, and will lighten up if i served the dish like this. I know it's not healthy, don't worry i forced him to take a lot of vitamin supplement to make up for this. 

Ingredients:

• 300 gr. Fish fillet, cut strip (I use perch fillet)
• salt and pepper according to taste

Batter:

• 3 egg white
• 2 Tbsp all purpose flour
• 2 Tbsp corn starch

1. Marinate the fish with salt and pepper, and set aside.
2. Beat the egg white until it stiff, what i meant stiff is when you turned the bowl, the batter has not fallen down.
3. Add the flour and corn starch to the batter.
4. Dip the fish strip to the batter, deep fried it in the wok for 3 minutes. Remove and serve in the serving dish.

P.S. : I recommend to use electric mixer to stir the egg white to achieve perfect consistency.

2. Divide into 4 portions, if the filling dough too soft, refrigerate for an hour.
3. Spread one portion of filling on nori sheets, roll it like you rolled for sushi, be careful not to squished the roll. Repeat this for the other 3 portions.
4. Heat the wok/ deep fryer, deep fry the roll over medium heat for 5 minutes, remove and drain. slice the roll to small pieces, and serve.

P.S.: To prepare the shrimp paste: drain the excess water on the shrimps with paper towel, assume you've already remove the skin and the dirt from the back of the shrimps, smashed the shrimps with your side knife (horizontally) and start chopping like a mad man (just kidding XD ). Then you have your shrimp paste ready.
