Given the value placed on homemade meals, let me share a recipe that embodies this simplicity and flavor: fish with soy sauce. As the fish fries, the preparation of the remaining ingredients is straightforward. Only ginger requires slicing; the rest are added to enhance the dish's taste and aroma.
While we're on the topic of fish recipes, let me share a few more in a similar cooking style. There's the Malay Style Ikan Kicap Serai, or Lemongrass Soy Sauce Fish, and another, a Chinese Style Vinegar Soy Sauce Fish. Then there's Ginger Chili Soy Sauce Fish, which blends elements of both Chinese and Malay styles - definitely not Indian. These recipes all feature soy sauce as a key ingredient, alongside popular Malaysian flavors.
Enjoy exploring these delicious flavors! Weeee!!
