Brunei Style

A rich and spicy fish curry cooked in coconut milk with a potent chili paste, this dish is a flavorful representation of Bruneian coastal cuisine. The 'lemak' refers to the richness from the coconut milk, while 'cili padi' signifies the small, fiery bird's eye chilies that give it a significant kick.

👨‍🍳 조리법

1
Prepare the chili paste: In a food processor or blender, combine the bird's eye chilies, shallots, garlic, and galangal. Blend until a smooth paste forms. Add a tablespoon of water if needed to help with blending.
2
Sauté the paste: Heat the cooking oil in a pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chili paste and sauté for 5-7 minutes until fragrant and the oil starts to separate from the paste.
3
Add aromatics and liquids: Stir in the turmeric powder, bruised lemongrass stalks, and torn kaffir lime leaves. Cook for another minute until fragrant. Pour in the coconut milk and water. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
4
Cook the fish: Gently add the fish chunks to the simmering curry. Season with salt and sugar (if using). Do not stir too vigorously to prevent the fish from breaking apart.
5
Simmer and finish: Let the curry simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily. Adjust seasoning with salt if necessary. Remove the lemongrass stalks before serving.
