السلام عليكم
Peace be upon you


Ya Allah.. rindunya pada blog ni and you guys! Sihat ke you all? It's been a while from my last entry. Do you miss me? :)

Hari ni nak share recipe asam pedas ikan siakap. Sebelum ni pun pernah juga update recipe asam pedas ni tapi menggunakan ikan kembong.

Ingredients

1 medium size barramundi fish
1 cup of chili paste
6 onions (pounded)*
3 cloves garlic (pounded)*
1 thumb size ginger (pounded)*
1 thumb size tumeric (pounded)*
1 thumb size shrimp paste *
1/2 tsp cumin seeds (pounded)*
1/2 tsp fennel seeds (pounded)*
1/2 tsp black pepper corn (pounded)*
1 tbsp tamarind paste (Asam Jawa Extra Adabi)
2-3 sprigs of vietnamese mint (daun kesum - tie to knot)
1 sprig curry leave
4-5 kaffir lime leaves
1 stalk lemongrass *
10 okras 
1 tomato (cut to four)
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3-4 cups of water
1 tbsp sugar
Salt to taste (depend on you)



Method

Clean and slice the fish about 3cm thick. Rinse and drain. Season with a pinch of salt and set aside.

Heat oil in a wok over medium heat (I used a wok instead of heavy bottom sauce pan). Add * ingredients and cook till fragrant and lil bit brown. Pour in the chili paste and cook for 5-10 minutes or till fragrant.

Pour in the water, add in the vietnamese mint, kaffir lime leave, curry leave, salt, sugar and tamarind paste and cook till the gravy lil bit thicken. Meanwhile, boil water in a sauce pan. Once boiled, add in the okras and cook for 3 minutes. Drain and rinse the okras with cold water. Set aside.

Once the gravy lil bit thicken, add in tomato and fish. Cook till the fish tender (about 5 minutes) and add in the okras. Mix them well and turn off the heat.

Ready to serve.
