Instructions:
-
Prepare the Spice Mixture:
Begin by roughly grinding the shallots and red bird’s eye chilies together. You can use a mortar and pestle or a food processor for this step. Add a pinch of salt and a small amount of cooking oil to the mixture to create a flavorful paste. -
Season the Fish:
Gently stuff the spice mixture into the cavity of the milkfish. Ensure that the seasoning is evenly distributed within the fish. You can also rub some of the paste on the exterior of the fish for extra flavor. -
Preheat the Happycall Pan:
Lightly grease the Happycall pan with a bit of cooking oil. This will help prevent the fish from sticking and ensure a nice, crispy exterior. -
Grill the Fish:
Place the seasoned milkfish in the preheated Happycall pan. Cook the fish over medium heat, turning occasionally, until it becomes golden brown and the flesh is cooked through. The grilling process should render the fish slightly dry and perfectly cooked. -
Serve:
Once the fish is grilled to your desired level of crispiness, remove it from the pan. Serve hot, and enjoy the rich and spicy flavors of your Grilled Bandeng.
