Crafting a Flavorful Catfish Simmered in Tamarind Sauce for a Hot Day
Ingredients:
– 2-3 catfish (400g)
– 20g tamarind
– Spices: Onions, pepper, garlic, salt, sugar, bouillon cubes, etc.
How to make:
Step 1: Prepare the ingredients
– Clean the catfish, remove the intestines, and wash with diluted saltwater to reduce viscosity and fishy odor for the catfish simmered in tamarind sauce. Then, drain the fish and cut it into bite-sized pieces.
– Finely chop onions and garlic.
– Soak tamarind in hot water, gently press with a spoon, and strain to extract the tamarind water. Add half a tablespoon of sugar, 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon of fish sauce, and 2 tablespoons of bouillon cubes to the tamarind water, then stir well.
Step 2: Cook the catfish simmered in tamarind sauce
– Fry the catfish in hot oil to prevent it from breaking apart during simmering. You can add garlic and chili while frying to enhance the flavor and reduce fishiness.
– When the fish turns evenly golden on both sides, pour the tamarind sauce and simmer until the sauce thickens. Add spring onions and chili, then turn off the heat.
The catfish in tamarind sauce is perfect for hot days with its mildly sweet and sour taste. Enjoy it with white rice or pair it with fresh vegetables and steamed vegetables.
