I cant remember how long I have known this recipe or how often I have made this dish, truth is, it has been served on our table too many times even for our own good. Lol!
What more can I say about this dish but it is really good and just like going back to basics.
Just like when the odds are against us when we go through the motions in our so-called life, or your cooking and baking don't seem to agree with you right this moment, right now or perhaps you just want things nice and easy then there's nothing like going back to basics.
Bear with me, I am typing the words for this recipe from my memory. :)
What you need:
Red Snapper or any big fish good for frying. :))
2 tablespoons of oil (of your choice, I used olive oil since its healthier)
2 tablespoons of oil (of your choice, I used olive oil since its healthier)
3 red chillies (those biggies), minced, you can also leave some seeds if you want the sauce hotter
2 teaspoons (or more to taste, just start with 2 teaspoons) Fish sauce
1 tablespoon (or more to taste, just start with 1 tbsp.) Tamarind puree or 100-150g of tamarind fruit soaked in 1 cup of hot water, sieved with seeds removed
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons (or more to taste, just start with 2 tablespoons) of sugar ( I opted to use honey since its healthier)
1 cup water
few stems of coriander and flat-leaf parsley for garnish
What you need to do:
Deep fry your fish until crunchy. Set aside
While deep frying your fish you can start preparing your thai chilli sauce, oil your pan with 2 tbsps. of oil. When oil is already hot, fry the chillies and brown the garlic. Make sure you don't burn the garlic otherwise the sauce will have a bitter taste. Add fish sauce, sugar (or honey), tamarind puree and 1cup water . If you opted for the real tamarind fruit instead, then add in sieved 1 cup of tamarind juice (tamarind fruits soaked in 1 cup of hot water). Let sauce boil them remove.
Drizzle your sauce over your deep fried fish then garnish with coriander and flat-leaf parsley.
What's even better is that you have cucumber herbs salad and hot jasmine rice for the company. :))
