Crispy Gurame Fillet with Sweet and Spicy Sauce
Ingredients:
- 2 ounces crispy gurame fillet (pre-fried and coated with flour)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon teriyaki sauce
- Salt, to taste
- Seasoning (optional)
- Water, as needed
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil (for sautéing)
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Gurame Fillet: Place the crispy gurame fillet on a small plate. (I used pre-fried and flour-coated fillets from the supermarket to save time and effort.)
-
Mince the Garlic: Peel and finely chop the garlic cloves.
-
Heat the Oil: In a pan, heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil over medium heat. This small amount of oil will help avoid an overly greasy dish.
-
Sauté the Garlic: Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté until it becomes fragrant.
-
Create the Sauce: Add a splash of water to the pan. Stir in the chili sauce and teriyaki sauce. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens.
-
Season: Season with salt and optional seasoning to taste.
-
Combine with Gurame: Add the prepared gurame fillet to the pan. Stir gently to coat the fillets with the sauce and ensure they are heated through.
-
Serve: Your Sweet and Spicy Crispy Gurame Fillet is now ready to be served. This dish is perfect for 2-3 people and pairs wonderfully with steamed rice.
Enjoy your meal and happy cooking!
