Ikan sembilang goreng berlada

First time siang n masak ikan sembilang

The other day I went to Tunas Manja after fetching Haziq and Hadif return from KAFA. The intention is to ensure that I will not be buying grocery for at least a week. So, I bought some fish, vegetables, food for the kids and others. My children were so interested looking at the cat fish that were put/ place in a container. The fish were still alive. I decided to try this recipe just to see whether or not they would be eating the fish. Would my 9, 7 and 4 years old kids eat the fish--- this thought was the reason I bought the fish. Having done cooking on that day, I told them this was the fish they so at the supermarket. They showed faces and none of them would want to try eating the fish!  Lets take a look at the ingredients and cooking method

Ingredients 

1. 2 cat fish/ ikan sembilang 
2. 5 tbs of cili giling 
3. a pinch of salt 
4. 2 tbs of sugar 
5. a little bit of shrimp paste (belacan) 
6. oil for cooking 
7. onion and garlic that are sliced 

Cooking methods

1. Wash the cat fish. You may clean the fish using tamarind just. Apply the juice onto the fish and then rinse it. Perhaps you also want to use lime to get rid of the fish smell. Then  put aside.
2. Turn on the stove. 
3. In a wok, pour cooking oil.
4. Then put the fish. Only small quantity of oil. If you like deep fry, you can do the reverse to my cooking. Whatever your choice is, fry it until it is golden. After it is fried, put it aside.
5. Now it's time to saute. Pour a little bit of cooking oil. Once it is hot, add in cili giling, salt, sugar, shrimp paste, onion and garlic that are sliced. Mix them well. 
6. Finally, put in the fish again. Mix the fish with ingredients in step 5 before turning off the stove.
