Instructions

  1. Prepare the Tongkol: Clean the tongkol by removing the head and bones, ensuring the fish is ready for cooking.

  2. Fry the Ingredients: Heat oil in a pan and lightly fry the tongkol and tempeh until they are half-dried. The tofu does not need to be fried further as it will absorb the flavors later.

  3. Blend the Spices: In a blender, combine the garlic, shallots, red chilies, small chilies, and tomato. Blend until you achieve a smooth paste.

  4. Sauté the Spice Blend: In the same pan, add the blended spices and sauté them until fragrant. Incorporate the lemongrass at this stage for added aroma.

  5. Combine Ingredients: Once the spices are fragrant, add the fried tongkol, tempeh, and tofu into the pan. Pour in 100 ml of water to help the ingredients meld together.

  6. Season the Dish: Sprinkle in sugar and salt according to your taste preferences. Bring the mixture to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer until the water reduces and the spices are well absorbed.

  7. Finishing Touches: Once the water has evaporated and the flavors are concentrated, turn off the heat. If desired, garnish with sliced green onions for a fresh finish.

  8. Serve and Enjoy: Your Bali 3T Pedas is now ready to be served! Pair it with steamed rice for a complete meal, or enjoy it on its own as a flavorful treat.

This dish embodies the essence of Balinese cuisine, bursting with spices and delightful textures. Perfect for any occasion, Bali 3T Pedas will transport your taste buds to the beautiful islands of Indonesia!
