Grilled Fish & Fried Kang Kong

Another grilled fish dish which is slightly different from what Rapunzel cooked the other day. This time we used Ikan Kembong which is much cheaper and perfect for deep frying. Simply marinate the 4 Ikan Kembongs with 2 tsp turmeric powder, 1 tbsp chili powder, 1 tsp salt and 1 tbsp oil for 15 minutes or longer. Put it into the oven and grilled till golden brown.

Snow White also make dipping sauce separately to go with the fish.
Dipping Sauce:
2 tsp lemon juice
6 chili padi, minced
3 shallots, thinly slice
1 garlic, minced
1 tsp dark sauce
2 tbsp light soy sauce

The Kang Kong is fried by Babe...but with instruction from Rapunzel.:P
1. Heat the oil in a wok, stir fry the 2 clove garlic(minced) and 3 onion(minced).
2. Add 2 tbsp chili prawn paste and stir fried till fragrant.
3. Put in the stalk of Kong Kong, stir fried till slight soft then gradually stir in the leaves.
4. Add salt, sugar and fish sauce to taste.
5. Fry for another 3 minutes and the Kang Kong is ready to serve.

The crispiness of the fish and the tanginess of the dipping sauce are great combination. Eat with white rice and the fried kang kong make a perfect lunch.
