Sambal Style Sardine Fry
This
sardine cooking story in my house? Always, forever and I am absolutely certain will go on, and on. Either every now
and then, or for a fact, I reckon, every often like a rapid fire or towering inferno. What's with sardines in my house if your curiousity is killing you? In other words, why sardines are one of our food prides? Actually, you know what? I really don't have an absolute answer for you.
Perhaps better be said as, because fish is sort of a favourite in my house (Western
Style Pan Grilled Spicy Salmon, Nyonya
Fish Curry & Ikan
Goreng Asam Jawa), and sardines, especially, since our local catch, they are pretty, really
affordable and mind you, tastiness as well. Regardless, whether the fresh ones or canned sardines (Sardine
Varuval & Sardine
Peratal). Sardines! Yea. There will always be the favourites to sardines like
sardine curries (Nadan
Fish Curry), or the Malaysian, our chilli based and chilli cooked sardine
side dishes. For me personally, the craziness and madness will forever be our Malay
style gravy style sardines dishes (Tempoyak
Masak Lemak Sardine & Sardine
Masak Cili Padi). Those spicy (Sardine
Sambal), salty and tadbit of sweetness, the Malay or Malaysian revelation
of mouth-popping, yippie-yeh-yeh tastiness (Nyonya
Acar Fish).
Alright. To
the recipe now. The sardine recipe. A different style to cooking,
but aha, the Malaysian sambal style as in. Where did the recipe originate from? Of
course. My brain. The brain of "My Fifty Six Life" and the brain of
this "The Crazy Lover", which by far, won't let me down, the
moment I walk into my kitchen and where food is cooked with lotsa of cooking
soul and love soul (Mathi
Achar). Nothing complications though. No. Not at all. Its the simplified cooking technic, neither you have to scream or roll on the floor for the ingredients. No. You won't. I can vouch. I can assure too. Let's cook foodies. Cook this Sambal Style Sardine Fry (Ikan
Cabe Ijo). Spiciness of course without a doubt, atop and all over these crispy on the outside and fried to the
right texture on the inside sardines.
Ingredients 4 sardine – clean and score on both sides 1 ½ tbsp (or as needed) dried chili paste (blended or ground dried red
chilies). ½ tbsp. corn flour Lime juice - as needed Salt to taste Oil as needed Optional – Thai betel leaves
Method Marinate with all
the ingredients except the leaves and oil. Keep aside or
place in the fridge for ½ hour.
Heat oil.
Fry fish on both sides. Place fried fish
atop the betel leaves before serving.
Sodhi. Coconut milk infused and laced ( Shrimp Coconut Milk ) Indian coconut stew. In fact, sodhi is the branching of Masak Lemak ( Vegetarian Malay Spinach Coconut Stew ), or vice-versa or whichever. Sodhi is definitely a popularity amongst the Indians and without a doubt, in my house as well. Sodhi is usually drenched over rice, and eaten alongside side dishes. Trust me, nothing like sodhi soaking or flooding up your rice and then, using your hands for mushy-mushy diving inside eating style. Sodhi. Like, every once a week in my house. In other words, a regularity and it is a dish that can be put up effortlessly. Needless to say, easy cooking and mind you, there are other variances of sodhi too, which I have already shared before ( Malu Kirata , Kiri Hodi , Prawn Sodhi & Cabbage Sodhi ). This latest sodhi? Basically, the humble, basic simplicity, but why a Malaysian Sodhi? Well, Cooked by this “The Crazy Lover” who is a typical, true and true Malaysian, and cooked in her, most o
Look at this earthen pot and in it thick, salty, spicy and vibrantly exciting to our palates and eyes Mochakottai Karuvadu Kulumbu (Field Beans Salted Fish Curry). Like immediately can trigger our hunger throne right? I know. I am definitely a big fan of this Indian style salted fish curry and salted fish on the whole by itself ( Spicy Ikan Bilis Potato , Sambal Tumis Ikan Bilis & Sambal Kentang Ikan Asin ), can drive me crazy because I so love saltiness. In fact, every day can be a salted fish meal day for me ( Salted Fish Pickle , Bean Sprouts Salted Fish & Steamed Pork Salted Fish ). But, I think we all know it? Too much of saltiness and salt can ruin our health? Of course. Then again, there is such a thing as every now and then saltiness as our best friend? How do make this salted fish curry? Nothing much, no major confusing cooking matter ( Salted Fish Bone Curry ). My recipes as always will never cause you to struggle in the kitchen. Ingredients listed below
By the third day, Iphone 7 started showing its dark side. Really a terrifying-horrible shocking discovery, it kept rebooting every now and then for no apparent reason. Obviously, I couldn’t believe my eyes. Duh! Its a brand new phone I paid from my savings ( Da De Bak Kut Teh Subang Jaya ), never ever have I encountered such a problem with my previous faithfully yours 6 year old Iphone 5. Absolutely heart wracking, I really couldn’t find the time ( Karaikudi Chicken Curry & Fikcles Cafe Taman Tun ) to rush to the service centre amidst the busyness of getting ready for the family wedding and another travel venture ( Oats Fried Prawn s ). Keeping my fingers crossed, hoping it’s just a minor teething problem, I went ahead with shopping nearby Plaza Shah Alam and Plaza Masalam. Accompanied by my niece, we bought a couple of things and then of course, naturally, shopping is more or less regarded as synonymous with hunger throne.
