Turmeric Grilled Fish - Fishy Fishy #One

 The first fourth dimension I had grilled fish this style, was during Kem Bina Insan Guru, of which every trainee teacher has to attend, it's supposed to make 'mortal' (graphic symbol, hahaha). Each  squad had to prepare their ain meals daily. The menu is fixed in addition to ingredients given fresh everyday.

One solar day, we were given around pocket-sized fishes in addition to the carte du jour for that meal is Ikan bakar (grilled fish) too from at that place, I witnessed how my team mates went about plucking banana leaves, smothering the fish alongside table salt as well as turmeric too so.. grilled them inwards the wok! Malay dwelling house style grilled fish. It was delish!

I had been wanting to replicate this for quite a long time and on i lucky eve at the night marketplace, I happened to buy or so big and inexpensive calamansi as well as a few weird looking fishes, together with at the same time was given some banana leaves past a relative. It was that spur of the minute that eh, I look to have everything on hand! Perfecto!

Here'sec what I did.

 Cut roughly slits on the fish'sec body. Rub or so salt as well as turmeric powder onto fish, into the tum cavity, into the slit too everywhere. Wrap amongst banana leaf.

Put approximately crude oil into wok, purpose high oestrus to estrus upwards together with pose in the wrapped fishes. Put the lid on as well as permit it make on med estrus. After 2 minutes, remove hat together with flip the fishes. Cook until you lot can see the fishes have turned slightly aureate and the leaves are chocolate-brown, virtually charred.

Serve amongst sambal kicap.

To brand sambal kicap, chop about shallots and aeroplane's heart chilli. Mix amongst kicap manis (I used ABC brand) in addition to and so squash some calamansi juice over. There's no exact recipe, it'sec up to your preference.

The fish tasted similar fish, haha. I could gustatory modality the fish you encounter, not that it tasted similar chicken. The mutual local hawker manner grilled fish is spicy as well as flooded with gravy. I gustation the chilli more than the fish at times. But no, not this elementary method. The banana leaf wrapping hand the fish a smoky flavour, as well as the turmeric helps cut the fishiness. Turmeric is proficient for you, then slather them on!
