Ingredients
Mudskippers (ca keo)
500 g
Chilli satay sauce
1 jar
Lemongrass, chilli, garlic, shallots and pepper
1 each
Tamarind
50 g
Boiled water
200 ml
Ginger
1 knob
Fish sauce
2 tablespoon
Sugar
2 tablespoon
Lime
1 piece
Implementation Steps
01
When buying the mudskippers, ask the fishmonger to remove the gills and fins. At home, rinse them, then remove the fishy smell and the slime by mixing salt with lime juice, rubbing the mixture thoroughly over the fish and rinsing again with water.
02
Put the cleaned fish in a small bowl and marinate with 2 tablespoons chilli satay sauce, a little salt, seasoning powder, MSG and fish sauce. Next, pound the garlic, chilli, lemongrass and pepper and add them to the bowl. Toss so that every fish is evenly coated with the seasoning.
03
Prepare the charcoal, fan it until glowing red, then place the grill rack over it. Lay the fish on the rack. While grilling, brush the fish with the leftover marinade to give it a beautiful colour. Turn the fish gently so they don't break apart. Keep grilling until both sides are evenly golden, then transfer to a plate garnished with Vietnamese coriander and sliced cucumber.
