• 6 pieces of Ikan Kuniran (or any similar white fish)
• 2 blocks of tofu, cut into cubes
• Juice of 1 lime
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 shallot, sliced
• 1 piece ginger, minced (about 1-inch)
• 2 teaspoons salt

For the Oyster Sauce:

• 1/2 onion, thinly sliced
• 5 cloves garlic, crushed and minced
• 1 ripe tomato, sliced
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
• 1/2 tablespoon fish sauce
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• Salt to taste
• Water as needed

For the Fish Marinade:

• A blend of spices for frying fish (see preparation steps)

Preparation Steps

1. Prepare the Fish:
   Start by cleaning the Ikan Kuniran thoroughly. Rub the fish with lime juice and let it sit for about 5 minutes. After this, rinse the fish under cold water to remove any residue.

2. Marinate:
   Coat the fish with a mixture of minced garlic, shallots, ginger, and salt. Allow the fish to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. This step enhances the flavor and ensures the fish is tender when cooked.

3. Fry the Fish:
   After marinating, heat oil in a frying pan and fry the fish until it is half-cooked. This will give it a beautiful golden color and a crispy texture.

4. Prepare the Oyster Sauce:
   In a separate pan, sauté the sliced onion, crushed garlic, and minced ginger until they are fragrant. This aromatic base will add depth to your sauce.

5. Combine Ingredients:
   Add a splash of water to the pan, followed by the oyster sauce, fish sauce, sliced tomato, salt, and sugar. Remember to use salt sparingly since the fish sauce is already salty.

6. Cook the Fish and Tofu:
   Once the sauce is gently simmering, carefully add the fried fish and cubed tofu to the pan. Cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and ensuring the fish is fully cooked. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

7. Serve:
   Once everything is cooked through and flavorful, your Ikan Kuniran with Oyster Sauce is ready to be served. This dish pairs beautifully with steamed rice or your favorite side dishes.
