Grilled Fish with Coconut Sauce (Ikan Percik)

-

Ikan percik or grilled fish with coconut sauce, is a very delicious dish which is always eaten with rice. The sauce has a creamy texture with the taste of lemongrass and black pepper. This percik can be made using various types of fish like Indian mackerel and catfish. I think that soft and fatty fish will results in a better percik. 

Ready in 45 minutes

Ingredients

  • 200 gram fish of choice
  • 1 inch ginger for marinating
  • 2 cloves garlic for marinating
  • 1 teaspoon salt for marinating
  • 1 inch ginger
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 5 shallots
  • 5 stalks lemongrass
  • 1 tablespoon black pepper
  • 250 ml coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Methods

  • Marinate fish with marinade ingredients for at least 30 minutes
  • Meanwhile prepare the sauce. Grind shallot, garlic, ginger, lemongrass and black pepper. 
  • Heat pan and add in coconut milk. Add in the ground ingredients. Stir occasionally.
  • Cook until the sauce reach a cream like consistency and add in salt and sugar. After sugar melted well turn off the heat.
  • Grill the fish. When the fish started to become dry brush the sauce on the fish by using lemongrass brush. And flip the brushed side to face the fire. 
  • Repeat the action every five minutes until the fish is cooked. 
  • Add the remaining coconut sauce on the serving plate while serving.

Malay/English I was cooking fish curry when my mom asked me to cook this green vegetable. It was just recently my family eat this vegetable. It looks like lettuce to me. I even imagine to eat it raw in my sandwich. The packaging wrote Yau Mark Tam. Yau mark tam? A vegetable from China I guess. Then I thought I would just sauté it with anchovies. And today I searched about yau mark tam in the internet and... it is actually romaine lettuce... hahaha... But sauteed romaine lettuce is also delicious. So let's look at the recipe.

This is a sandwich I always make when I harvest the Brazilian Spinach at my small container garden in the backyard. It is easy, delicious and nutritious. The toum is a new addition to this sandwich to give more flavor to it.  Ingredients 1 egg 1/4 cup milk 1/2 cup 1 cup spinach (I use Brazilian Spinach) Toum Mayonnaise Margerine or butter 2 slices of bread A pinch of salt White pepper powder Methods Beat the egg in a bowl until egg white and egg yolk mixed.  Add in some salt, milk and white pepper.  Cook on the low heat. Put scrambled egg aside. Spread margarine or butter on one side of the bread. Toast the bread on the pan. Cook the buttered side until golden. Boil the spinach in 1/3 cup of water until tender. You can also add it raw.  Spread some mayonnaise on one of the bread. Spread toum on another bread. Spread scrambled egg on one if the bread, followed by the spinach.  Then put another bread with toum spread on top of it. Enjoy.

Lempeng (lamp-eng) or flat pancake is our regular meal for breakfast. It is easy to make, uses simple ingredients and delicious. The ingredients are all purpose flour, egg, salt, margarine and water. It is cooked in a round and flat shape but usually the texture differs according to personal preference. Some people loves it thick and soft. Some other loves it thin and soft. Some loves the surface to be crunchy but soft in the middle. I prefer the third version of lempeng. Lempeng is usually eaten with granulated sugar, condensed milk and syrups. The basic lempeng is plain in flavor, making it suitable to be eaten with condiments. I like it with curry. It is so delicious when eaten together until I usually add one more piece in my plate. =) Ready in 15 to 30 minutes. For 5 servings Ingredients 3 cups all purpose flour 1 egg 1 teaspoon salt 1 to 2 tablespoons margarine Water Methods Mix all the ingredients together except water. It is okay if the marg
