A Delicious Ginger Fish Recipe
Welcome to Azie Kitchen, where we bring you the best and tastiest recipes from Malaysia! Today, we are going to share with you a classic Malaysian dish called "Ikan Masak Halia" or Ginger Fish. This dish is known for its flavorful combination of ginger, garlic, and spices, which perfectly complement the tender and juicy fish.
For this recipe, we will be using a whole fish, preferably a snapper or grouper, as it holds up well to the intense flavors of the sauce. The fish is first marinated in a mixture of turmeric, salt, and lime juice to remove any fishy smell and to enhance its natural taste. It is then pan-fried until golden brown and set aside.
To make the aromatic ginger sauce, we will need a handful of ingredients such as ginger, garlic, shallots, lemongrass, and red chili. These ingredients are finely chopped and sautéed in a bit of oil until fragrant. Then, we add in some tamarind pulp, water, and fish sauce to create the base of the sauce.
Next, we add in the pan-fried fish and let it simmer in the sauce for a few minutes until the flavors meld together. To finish off the dish, we garnish it with some fresh cilantro and serve it with steamed rice or warm crusty bread.
Ingredients:
- 1 whole fish (snapper or grouper)
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Juice of 1 lime
- 3 tablespoons oil
- 2 tablespoons minced ginger
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 shallots, minced
- 1 stalk lemongrass, white part only, minced
- 2 red chilies, sliced
- 1 tablespoon tamarind pulp
- 1 cup water
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- Handful of fresh cilantro, for garnish
Instructions:
1. Clean and gut the fish, then make shallow slashes on both sides. Rinse well and pat dry with paper towels.
2. In a small bowl, mix together turmeric powder, salt, and lime juice. Rub the mixture all over the fish, including the slashes. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
3. Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat. Pan-fry the fish until golden brown on both sides. Remove from the pan and set aside.
4. In the same pan, add minced ginger, garlic, shallots, lemongrass, and red chilies. Sauté until fragrant.
5. Dissolve tamarind pulp in water and strain the liquid into the pan. Add fish sauce and bring the sauce to a simmer.
6. Gently place the pan-fried fish into the sauce and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through.
7. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve hot with steamed rice or warm crusty bread.
