2. Fry the Tuna: In a skillet over medium heat, lightly fry the ikan tongkol cue. Be careful not to overcook it; just fry until it’s slightly golden on the outside and still moist on the inside.

3. Sauté Aromatics: In the same skillet, add a touch of oil if necessary, and sauté the sliced red onions and minced garlic until they become fragrant and the onions are translucent.

4. Add the Chilies: Toss in the sliced green chilies and bird’s eye chilies, stirring well to combine with the aromatic base. Let them sauté for a minute or two to release their flavors.

5. Combine the Ingredients: Gently add the fried ikan tongkol back into the skillet. Season the mixture with sugar, salt, chicken bouillon powder, and the oyster sauce. Stir everything together and cook for a few more minutes, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.

6. Taste and Adjust: Take a moment to taste your dish. Feel free to adjust the seasoning to suit your preference; you may want more salt, sugar, or even additional chilies for extra heat.

7. Serve: Once satisfied with the flavor, turn off the heat. Serve your Ikan Tongkol Cue Tumis Cabe hot, accompanied by a generous serving of steaming rice.
