Instructions:
1.) Season both sides of the tilapia with salt, ground black pepper, garlic and five spice powder. You can omit the five spice if you don't like it. Rub all over the fish including the cavity.
2.) Put fish in a bowl. Pour the cooking wine on fish. Marinate each side for atleast 20 minutes.
3.) Heat oil in pan.
4.) Combine the cornstarch and flour in a deep plate. Coat tilapia in flour mixture.
5.) Fry one side of the tilapia in medium heat until crispy golden brown. Turn over to cook other side as well.
