Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by cleaning and shredding the fresh tuna into bite-sized pieces. Slice the shallots, mince the garlic, and prepare the curly red chilies and tomato.

  2. Sauté the Aromatics: In a large skillet over medium heat, add a splash of oil. Once hot, add the sliced shallots and minced garlic, sautéing until fragrant and golden brown.

  3. Add the Chilies and Tomato: Stir in the sliced curly red chilies and chopped tomato. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the tomatoes begin to soften.

  4. Incorporate the Tuna: Gently add the shredded tuna to the skillet. Season with salt and sugar to taste. Mix well to ensure the tuna is coated with the sautéed spices.

  5. Cook Until Done: Allow the mixture to cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tuna is fully cooked and the flavors meld beautifully.

  6. Serve: Once cooked, remove the skillet from heat. Transfer the Suwir Tongkol Sambel Bawang to a serving dish and enjoy it warm with steamed rice or as a flavorful side dish.
