Prepare the Fish:
Begin by heating oil in a pan over medium heat. Carefully add the sliced Tenggiri fish and fry until golden brown on both sides. Once cooked, remove the fish from the pan and set it aside. -
Sauté Aromatics:
In the same pan, add a splash of oil if needed, then toss in the chopped garlic, grated ginger, and sliced chili pepper. Sauté these ingredients until they are fragrant, allowing the flavors to infuse into the oil. -
Create the Sauce:
Next, pour in the tomato sauce and soy sauce, stirring to combine. Add sugar and salt to taste, balancing the flavors according to your preference. Incorporate the chopped tomato and mix well. If the mixture appears too thick, add a little water to achieve your desired consistency. -
Combine and Thicken:
Allow the sauce to simmer for a few minutes until it becomes aromatic. Then, gently reintroduce the fried Tenggiri fish into the pan. Carefully coat the fish with the sauce, ensuring it is well-covered. Finally, stir in the dissolved tapioca flour to thicken the sauce slightly, creating a luscious glaze around the fish. -
Serve:
Once everything is well combined and heated through, remove the pan from the heat. Your Tengiri Asam Manis is now ready to be served! Plate the dish and enjoy it with steamed rice or as part of a larger meal.
This recipe not only brings a touch of sweetness and tanginess to your table but also celebrates the beautiful flavors of Tenggiri fish. Enjoy your culinary adventure with this delightful Indonesian dish that is sure to impress!
