Sweet and Spicy Gurame Fish Recipe for Students

Ingredients:

  • 4 whole fresh gurame fish (cleaned, cut into two pieces each)
  • 6 cloves garlic
  • 7 shallots
  • 10 hot red chilies
  • 3 large tomatoes
  • 1 thumb-sized piece of ginger
  • 1 sachet oyster sauce
  • 5 tablespoons hot sauce
  • 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground pepper
  • 2 stalks green onions (sliced into rings)
  • Cooking oil for frying the fish and sautéing the spices
  • 100 ml water
  • 1 lime (for eliminating fishy odor)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Fish:

    • Rinse the gurame fish thoroughly and remove the gills. Cut the fish into two pieces and squeeze lime juice over them to help remove any fishy odor. Set aside.
  2. Marinate the Fish:

    • Blend garlic, coriander, salt, and turmeric to create a seasoning paste. Rub this paste all over the fish and let it marinate for about 20 minutes.
  3. Prepare the Spices:

    • Finely chop the garlic and shallots.
    • Crush the ginger into small pieces.
    • Slice the hot red chilies diagonally.
    • Dice the tomatoes into chunks.
    • Slice the green onions into rings.
  4. Fry the Fish:

    • Heat oil in a pan and fry the marinated fish until crispy and golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.
  5. Make the Sauce:

    • In the same pan, remove excess oil, leaving about 2 tablespoons. Sauté the garlic and shallots until fragrant and translucent.
    • Add the crushed ginger, and cook until it releases its aroma.
    • Pour in 100 ml of water, followed by the oyster sauce and hot sauce. Stir well.
    • Add salt and sugar, and let the sauce simmer until it starts to thicken.
  6. Add Vegetables:

    • Add the sliced chilies, diced tomatoes, and green onions to the sauce. Allow it to cook until the tomatoes are softened and the flavors meld together.
  7. Combine Fish and Sauce:

    • Gently place the fried fish pieces into the sauce, ensuring they are well-coated. Let it simmer for a few minutes to absorb the flavors.
  8. Serve:

    • Turn off the heat and transfer the fish along with the sauce to a serving dish. Serve hot and enjoy!

This Sweet and Spicy Gurame Fish is a delightful dish combining the rich flavors of fried fish with a tangy, spicy sauce. Perfect for a comforting meal that’s sure to satisfy any craving.
