Ingredients for Stewed Stingray with Turmeric Serves 2 people

How to choose fresh and delicious stingray
- When buying stingray, pay attention to select those that are still active and swim well. Weak swimming stingrays are older, and their meat is not tasty and has a higher chance of acid conversion.
- Choose fish meat that has a moderate pink color, not too dark and not too light.
- Fresh stingray will have good elasticity, avoid buying parts that are slightly soft and mushy.
- Especially, fresh stingray usually does not have a strong fishy smell; if the smell is too strong, it means the fish is dead.

Prepare the Ingredients
Remove the outer layer of lemongrass, peel and wash the shallots, chop finely, and slice the chili.
For the stingray, use 1 tablespoon of salt to rub it, wash it to reduce the slime, and then cut it into bite-sized pieces.
How to prepare stingray to reduce fishy smell:
- First, remove the gills, the blood sacs inside the belly, cut off the fins and intestines, then rub salt on the fish for the first time and wash off the slime.
- Next, use a knife to cut along the backbone of the fish and remove all the bruised parts and the black membrane. Then rub salt a second time and rinse briefly with water.
- After that, use a knife to scrape off the slimy layer on the fish’s skin. Then rub salt on the skin and wash the fish with diluted salt water mixed with ginger, white wine, or vinegar to completely eliminate the fishy smell and slime.
- Finally, rinse with clean water and let it drain to complete the process.

Marinate the Fish
Marinate the fish with some chopped shallots and lemongrass along with 2 tablespoons of fish sauce, 1/2 teaspoon of seasoning powder, 1/2 teaspoon of chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon of pepper, and 2 teaspoons of turmeric powder. Let the fish marinate for about 1 hour to absorb the flavors.
Tip: You can adjust the ingredients to suit your family’s taste.

Fish Stewing

Tip: To allow the fish to cook slowly and absorb the flavors evenly, stew the fish over medium or low heat.
