Ikan Mas Bumbu Tauco (Spiced Carp with Tauco Sauce)

Ingredients

Ingredient Quantity
Carp (ikan mas) 1 large fish
Bird’s eye chili (cabe rawit) 3 pieces
Shallots (bawang merah) 3 pieces
Garlic (bawang putih) 2 cloves
Salt (garam) To taste
Seasoning (penyedap) To taste
Fermented soybeans (tauco) 4 tablespoons
Cooking oil For frying
Lime juice (perasan jeruk nipis) From 1 lime

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Fish: Begin by cleaning the large carp thoroughly under running water. After rinsing, sprinkle salt on the fish and squeeze lime juice over it to enhance its flavor. Set aside to marinate briefly.

  2. Make the Spice Paste: In a mortar and pestle, combine the shallots, garlic, and bird’s eye chilies. Grind them together until you achieve a smooth paste. This fragrant mixture will form the base of your sauce.

  3. Fry the Fish: Heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the marinated carp to the pan. Fry the fish until it turns golden brown and crispy, ensuring it is cooked through. Once done, remove the fish from the pan and drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil.

  4. Prepare the Sauce: In the same pan used for frying, retain a small amount of oil, and add the ground spice paste. Sautรฉ the paste over medium heat until it becomes aromatic and fragrant.

  5. Add the Tauco: Once the spices are fragrant, add the fermented soybeans (tauco) to the pan. Stir well to incorporate the tauco into the mixture. Season with salt and seasoning to taste, adjusting the flavors as desired.

  6. Combine and Serve: Once the sauce is well combined, carefully pour it over the fried carp. Ensure the fish is generously coated with the flavorful sauce.

  7. Enjoy: Your Ikan Mas Bumbu Tauco is now ready to be served! Pair it with steaming hot rice for a delightful meal that is sure to impress.
