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
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.

Grilled mudskipper is best dipped in tamarind fish sauce.

05
Wash the tamarind and boil it with a little salt and ginger to improve its flavour. Then cut the tamarind into thin slices. If you buy ripe tamarind, just blanch it in boiling water and chop it.

Seed and finely mince the chilli; crush and chop the ginger.
06
Put the chopped tamarind in the boiled water and mash it. After about 2 minutes of mashing, add sugar and keep mashing until the tamarind releases its sour juice.
07
Next, add the fish sauce and chilli and stir well. Taste and adjust the tamarind fish sauce to your liking. Making tamarind fish sauce is as simple as that!
