Patin tempoyak 


This is an old recipe from a time when nothing was ever wasted. It made use of durians that had cracked open and could not be sold, or abundant fruits that could not get to the market in time.

Ingredients

500g Patin

6 Bird's Eye Chilli

2cm Turmeric

0.5 cup Tempoyak

1L Water

10g Kesum Leaves

2 MAGGI® Ikan Bilis Stock Cube

3 Dried Tamarind Slice

 

Instruction

Firstly, pound the bird’s eye chillies using a mortar and pestle or blend with some water. Scoop the pounded chilli and place it into a pot. Add in the tempoyak and mix well.

Next, pour in 1 litre of water and add in MAGGI® Ikan Bilis Stock Cube. Bring it to a boil.

When the mixture starts boiling, add in the fish and lower the heat. Cover the pot and allow the gravy to simmer for about 10-15 minutes until the fish is cooked and the gravy has reduced.

Finally, stir in the daun kesum and asam keeping (if using) and let the gravy simmer over medium heat for another 2-3 minutes. Turn off heat and serve your Tempoyak Ikan Patin with rice.

 


Ikan Patin Sambal Sereh 


Fresh water fish like ikan patin tends to be fishier than the salt water fish, and this lemongrass chili sauce is super great for this type of fish since the lemongrass fresh citrus flavor will completely mask the fishy smell and turns any river fish into a wonderful dish.
