   • Begin by frying the Presto Bandeng until crispy and golden brown. This step ensures the fish is cooked through and has a delightful crunch.

2. Prepare the Coating:

   • In a bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of rice flour with a small amount of water and 1 egg. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
   • Cut the fried bandeng into portions and dip each piece into the rice flour mixture, ensuring it is evenly coated.

3. Fry the Coated Bandeng:

   • Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the coated bandeng pieces in batches, ensuring they do not stick together. Once fried, remove them and set aside. Use any leftover egg mixture to make crispy egg bites for an added treat.

4. Prepare the Salted Egg Sauce:

   • For the sauce, finely grind the garlic and red chilies together. Slice the scallion into thin rounds.
   • Open the salted eggs and extract the yolks. In a non-stick pan, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat.
   • Add the ground garlic and chili mixture to the pan, sautéing until fragrant. Then, add the sliced scallions and cook briefly.
   • Stir in the salted egg yolks and a splash of water. Cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and becomes creamy. Adjust seasoning with salt as needed.

5. Combine and Serve:

   • Take half of the salted egg sauce and mix it with the fried bandeng pieces, allowing the flavors to meld together.
   • Transfer the bandeng to a serving plate and drizzle the remaining salted egg sauce over the top.
   • Garnish with crispy fried shallots for added texture and flavor.

6. Enjoy:

   • Serve the Salted Egg Bandeng Presto hot, either as a main dish or a sumptuous side. Enjoy the crispy fish coated in the rich, creamy sauce for a truly delightful dining experience.
