Ikan Pari Pedes Endess: A Spicy Delight
Ingredients
- 8-10 pieces of fresh stingray
- 5 curly red chilies (add more for extra heat)
- 3 bird’s eye red chilies (increase quantity for more spiciness)
- 2 shallots
- 2 cloves of garlic
- Salt to taste (note: the stingray is already salty)
- Sugar to taste
- Seasoning to taste
- A little water
- Oil for sautéing
Instructions
-
Prepare the Stingray: Begin by soaking the stingray pieces in water to reduce saltiness. You can choose to cut them into 8-10 portions first or soak them whole; soaking first can help soften the tough texture, making it easier to cut.
-
Fry the Fish: Heat oil in a pan and gently fry the stingray pieces until they are cooked but not overly crispy.
-
Make the Spice Paste: While the fish is frying, blend the curly and bird’s eye chilies, shallots, and garlic into a smooth paste.
-
Sauté the Spices: In the same pan, add the blended spice paste and sauté until fragrant. Add a little water to prevent the paste from sticking.
-
Combine and Season: Once the spices are aromatic, add the fried stingray pieces into the pan. Season with a touch of salt, seasoning, and sugar, adjusting to your taste preference.
-
Finish and Serve: Allow the dish to cook until the spices are well absorbed by the fish. Once ready, remove from heat and serve hot. The spiciness will surely be delightful!
