Making sauces at home is easy. You control what you put in, adapt to your own preferences and no additives and preservatives. You know what you are eating. It's not only healthier, but actually it's more delicious too.
I usually don't make too much at a time, each time, I'll make sauces that can use up to 3~5 times only.
Ingredients :
2 pcs fresh Red Chilli
3~4 cloves of Garlic
4~5 pcs of shallots
2 tbsp of bean paste (taucu)
2 tsp of brown sugar
Some water
1 pcs of talapia fish
Step :
1) chilli, garlic and shallot- Fry to fragrance.
2) Add in bean paste and brown sugar. Add some water to simmer.
3) The sauce is ready when it thicken. The longer you simmer is the better. Do not add too much water at a time. You should add water bit by bit so the sauce will not dry up.
4) Cleaning fish - descale and remove all the organs. Do not break the gut (black colour thing) as it will make the fish bitter.
5) Steam fish for 15 mins. Check fish if fish is cook by using chopstick to poke the thickest part. If it goes it directly, easily, it means it's cooked.
Remove some of the fish sauce that caused by the steaming process. You may keep it to cook vegetables .
6) Pour some sauce over the fish and let it steam for a while about 5mins.

Mix and cook all together.
Once you see that the sauce have get thicker, it's ready. Transfer to a jar to cool down before storing in fridge. Leave it in fridge for at least 1 week so that the taste and aroma become stronger.
