FISH COOKED SINGGANG STYLE


I have actually eaten this fish soup many types but did not know that it was called Singgang ikan.  This soupy dish is perfect when I don't feel like eating anything hot or spicy.   Singgang ikan is simple, mild and soft for the stomach.

If you wish to try cooking this dish, here is the recipe.

RECIPE FOR IKAN SINGGANG

Ingredients
2-4 fishes, any type
1 inch ginger,
1 inch galangal
1 big onion
1 table spoon coriander herbs
3-6 asam gelugur
1 tea spoon coarse black pepper
1 table spoon budu
2-3 fresh red chillies/ bird's eye chillies
salt, to taste
water, as desired

Methods
1. In a pot, put in all the ingredients except the fish and brew them for about five to ten minutes. This is to let all the ingredients immerse together and to cook thoroughly before putting in the fish. As fishes take a short time to cook, it is better you make your broth first and put the fishes last.

2. When the broth is brewed thoroughly, add in the fishes and cook until another five to eight minutes or until the fishes are tender.

3. Serve in a serving plate with white plain rice.
