Simplicity at Its Best: Basa Fish Fillet in Sweet Tomato Sauce

Ingredients:

– 500g basa fish fillet

– 2 tomatoes

– Spring onions, cilantro, purple onions, garlic

– Seasonings: Sugar, soy sauce, cooking oil, bouillon powder, pepper…

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients

– Rinse the basa fish fillet thoroughly and cut into small pieces. Let it chill in the fridge for about 2 hours. Then, put the fish in a food processor and grind until smooth. Marinate the mixture with a little fish sauce, chili pepper, finely chopped purple onions, and a little bouillon powder until well combined.

– Next, wear gloves, apply some oil, and shape the fish paste into round patties. Place them on a tray lined with food wrap to prevent sticking.

– Ripe tomatoes, fresh spring onions washed and finely chopped.

– Peeled garlic cloves, finely chopped.

Step 2: Cooking Basa Fish in Tomato Sauce

– Heat oil in a pan over medium heat, then fry the basa fish fillets until golden brown on both sides. Remove them onto a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.

– Next, heat the oil in the pan again, sauté the chopped garlic until fragrant, then add the tomatoes and stir well. Add a little water to soften the tomatoes, season with 2 tablespoons of sugar, 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, simmer over low heat until boiling, then add all the fried fish fillets. When the sauce thickens, turn off the heat. Sprinkle finely chopped spring onions on top and serve the basa fish in tomato sauce on a plate.

And there you have it, the basa fish in tomato sauce is now complete. You'll enjoy the tender and flavorful fish complemented by the sweet and tangy flavor of tomatoes. This dish, served with hot rice, will surely become a favorite for your family meals.
