2. How to make tasty caramelized tuna
Step 1: Prepare the ingredients
- - Clean and slice the tuna into bite-sized pieces.
- Cut the pineapple into bite-sized chunks and marinate with a pinch of bouillon powder and sugar for enhanced flavor.
- Finely slice the ginger and ginger leaves.
Step 2: Marinate the fish
Fry the fish in hot oil until golden brown on both sides.
Once the fish is golden brown, remove it from the oil and marinate with 2 tablespoons of bouillon powder, 2 tablespoons of sugar, half a tablespoon of salt, 2 tablespoons of fish sauce, minced garlic, and minced shallots for about 15 minutes to allow the fish to absorb the flavors.
Step 3: Caramelize the fish
Sauté minced garlic and shallots, then layer the fish in a pot and reduce the heat. Next, arrange the pineapple on top of the fish, pour in the caramelized sauce and all the remaining marinade. Add chili peppers, black pepper, and ginger on top of the fish, then cover the pot. Simmer over low heat for 20 minutes.
During the caramelization process, remember to occasionally uncover the pot and flip the pineapple slices. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, then continue caramelizing until the fish absorbs the flavors evenly.
After 20 minutes, when the pineapple is tender and the fish is cooked through, sprinkle finely chopped ginger leaves on top and turn off the heat. Your flavorful caramelized tuna dish is now ready to serve.
