Instructions

Prepare the Fish: Start by filleting the Gurame fish and cutting it into small pieces. Heat oil in a deep pan and fry the fish pieces until they are golden brown and crispy, similar to the texture of KFC chicken. Remove and drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil.

Make the Sauce: In a separate pan, heat a little oil over medium heat. Sauté the minced garlic and sliced kaffir lime leaves until fragrant, releasing their aromatic oils.
-
Incorporate the Salted Eggs: Take the salted eggs, remove the shells, and mash them slightly. Add them to the sautéed garlic and kaffir leaves. Stir well to combine, allowing the eggs to meld with the other ingredients.
-
Add Coconut Milk and Seasoning: Pour in the coconut milk gradually, mixing thoroughly. Season the mixture with salt, sugar, chicken seasoning, and pepper to taste. Allow it to simmer for a few minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
-
Combine and Serve: Once the sauce is ready and well-seasoned, pour it generously over the crispy Gurame fish.
-
Enjoy: Serve your crispy Gurame with salted egg sauce immediately, and enjoy the delectable blend of textures and flavors!
Tips
- Adjust the thickness of the sauce by modifying the amount of coconut milk according to your preference.
- Feel free to add chili for an extra kick if you enjoy spicy flavors.
