Title: Shredded Tuna with Spicy Aromatic Sauce (Ikan Tongkol Suwir)
Ingredients:
- Cooked tuna (Ikan Tongkol) – shredded
- Red chilies
- Red onions
- Garlic
- Ginger
- Turmeric
- Salt
- Sugar
- Tomatoes – diced
- Flavor enhancer (optional)
- Cooking oil
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Tuna: Start by shredding your cooked tuna into bite-sized pieces. Set aside for later use.
-
Prepare the Spice Paste: In a mortar and pestle (or blender if you prefer), grind the red chilies, red onions, garlic, ginger, turmeric, and salt together. You can grind it roughly for a chunkier texture or blend it into a smooth paste, depending on your preference.
-
Sauté the Spice Paste: Heat some oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the spice paste and sauté it until the aroma becomes fragrant, and the mixture starts to soften. This process releases the full depth of the spices.
-
Add Tomatoes: Once the spice paste is aromatic, add the diced tomatoes. Cook the tomatoes down until they become soft and blend into the sauce, creating a rich, flavorful base.
-
Combine Tuna: Now, add the shredded tuna into the pan. Stir to mix well with the spices and tomatoes. Cook for a few minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
-
Season and Simmer: Add sugar and a flavor enhancer, if desired. Adjust the seasoning according to taste, adding more salt or sugar as needed. Continue to cook for a few more minutes until the dish is well-cooked and all the flavors are fully absorbed.
-
Serve: Your Shredded Tuna with Spicy Aromatic Sauce is now ready to enjoy! Serve with steamed rice or as a side dish to complement your meal.
