Instructions
Step 1. Make three 2-inch slits on each side of each catfish. Stuff each slit with a slice of ginger.
Step 2. Pour enough peanut oil into a wok or a large, deep skillet so that it will cover catfish completely when frying. Heat oil until sizzling hot. Fry catfish in the hot oil, one at a time, turning to cook on all sides until golden brown and crispy and fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Drain on paper towels.
Step 3. Place on serving plates and squeeze lemon juice over the hot catfish. Garnish with fried mushrooms, enoki mushrooms and greens. Serve with a bowl of ponzu sauce.
For Ponzu Sauce: Mix all ingredients in a small bowl. Makes 1 cup.
