Baso Tuna Goreng Kecap: A Sweet and Savory Tuna Treat

- Oyster sauce (Saori)
Instructions:

Prepare the Tuna Meatballs:
Begin by cutting each tuna meatball into four equal pieces. This will ensure that they cook evenly and absorb the flavors well. -
Fry the Tuna Meatballs:
Heat a generous amount of margarine in a skillet over medium heat. Once the margarine is melted and hot, add the tuna meatball pieces. Fry them, turning occasionally, until they turn a rich, golden brown. The margarine adds a deliciously crispy texture and a rich flavor. -
Add the Sauces:
Reduce the heat to low and pour in the sweet soy sauce (kecap manis) and a small amount of oyster sauce (Saori). Stir gently to coat the meatballs evenly with the sauces. The sweet soy sauce will caramelize slightly, creating a flavorful glaze that complements the savory notes of the oyster sauce. -
Finish and Serve:
Once the meatballs are well-coated and heated through, remove them from the skillet and transfer them to a serving plate or bowl. Sprinkle a generous amount of fried shallots on top for a crispy, aromatic garnish.
Serve your Baso Tuna Goreng Kecap immediately, either as an appetizer or a delightful main dish. The combination of sweet and savory flavors, along with the crispy shallots, makes this a truly irresistible treat. Enjoy!
