Sambal Ikan Tenggiri

Ingredients:

2 pieces small size Tenggiri fish (Ikan Merah or Ikan Jenahak will taste good too)
1 Onion thinly sliced
2 tbs garlic paste
5 tbs chili paste (depends if you prefer spicy or not)
1 tsp belacan powder or paste
1 asam keping
1 tsp brown sugar and salt to taste.
Few drop of dark soy sos (for the dark red color effect)

Method:

Deep fry fish with turmeric powder and salt and leave aside.

Heat oil and fry garlic, chili until brownish and cooked. The chili needs more time to cook so no worries... add in belacan paste or powder, asam keeping and half of the onions. Keep frying and add in seasonings. Little sugar will do great to balance up the spiciness of the chili. Add the balance of onions and a little bit of hot water for some gravy and drop bit of dark soy sos for the color.

Now serve the sambal sauce on top of the fried fish or if you like can just mix everything together heheheh…
