Haruan Masak Habang: A Flavorful Delight

Ingredients

  • 1 kg Haruan fish (Ikan Gabus), cut into pieces
  • 1 Lime (jeruk nipis), juiced
  • 3 tablespoons Sweet soy sauce (kecap manis)
  • 2 sticks Cinnamon (kayumanis)

Ground Spice Mixture

  • 10 Shallots (bawang merah)
  • 5 Garlic cloves (bawang putih)
  • 200 grams Dried chilies (cabe kering), previously boiled
  • 4 Candlenuts (kemiri)
  • 2-inch piece Ginger (jahe)
  • 2-inch piece Galangal (lengkuas)
  • Salt, sugar, and seasoning to taste

Steps

  1. Prepare the Fish: Begin by cleaning the Haruan fish thoroughly. Squeeze the lime juice over the fish and let it sit for about 1 hour to enhance its flavor. Afterward, rinse the fish under clean water to remove any residual lime.

  2. Fry the Fish: Heat some oil in a pan and fry the fish pieces until they are slightly dry but not overcooked. This will help retain the fish’s texture and flavor.

  3. Sauté the Spice Mixture: In a separate pan, sauté the ground spice mixture until it becomes fragrant and fully cooked. Add a bit of cooking oil and the cinnamon sticks to infuse additional flavor into the dish.

  4. Combine Ingredients: Gently add the fried fish into the sautéed spices, stirring to ensure the fish is well-coated. Pour in the sweet soy sauce, mixing everything together for an even distribution of flavors.

  5. Cook Until Done: Allow the mixture to cook until all the ingredients are well-combined and the fish is fully cooked through, ensuring that the flavors meld beautifully.

  6. Serve: Once cooked, transfer the dish to a serving plate and garnish with crispy fried shallots for added texture and flavor.
