Instructions
-
Prepare the Fish: Begin by thoroughly washing the bandeng until it is clean. Once washed, gently rub the fish with the juice of the jeruk nipis (lime) and sprinkle with kunyit bubuk (turmeric powder). Allow it to marinate for about 15 minutes to infuse the flavors.
-
-
Coat the Fish: After marination, take the fish and coat it evenly with Tepung Sajiku. This will create a delightful crispy texture once fried.
-
Fry the Fish: In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat an adequate amount of minyak goreng (cooking oil) over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the coated fish in the pan and fry until golden brown and crispy on both sides. Remove the fish from the pan and let it drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
-
Prepare the Sambal Jahe: In the same oil used for frying, add the sambal jahe. To make the sambal, blend the lombok (chili peppers), bawang merah (shallots), bawang putih (garlic), and jahe (ginger) into a fine paste. Fry this mixture briefly until fragrant, then add salt (garam) and vetsin to taste. Stir the mixture well to combine.
-
Serve: Generously drizzle the sambal jahe over the fried bandeng, ensuring it is well-covered. For an added touch of freshness and color, garnish with finely sliced daun bawang (spring onions).
