I've not been eating mackerel for a couple of months now. Perhaps I'm missing something, so last few days, I bought some fresh mackerel and I ate it alone. I just fried them, eat with spicy tamarind sauce and it happen I have some leftover fried mackerel and for the second round, I cooked them with some sauce.
Fish in spicy soy sauce or we called it ikan masak kicap pedas is a Malaysian style fried fish cooked in spicy soy sauce but for those who dont't eat spicy, just skip the chilli, as simple as that. For the certain food like this, fish, prawns or vegetables with gravy and so forth, they are nothing more than of individual preference, no rules. We can choose to add in more or less seasoning and sauce depend on our preference.
Ingredients;
1-2 mackerel or any kind of fish
1 onion, sliced
4 shallot, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2cm ginger, chopped
5-6 dry chilli, soak in hot water/ or fresh chilli
1/2 teaspoon coriander powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin powder
1/2 cup tamarind juice
2 tablespoon dark soy sauce
1 tablespoon light soy sauce
Salt, sugar and pepper to taste
METHOD;
