Stir-frying ingredients
Add 1 tablespoon of red oil into the pot, when the oil is hot, add shallots and sauté until fragrant. When the shallots turn golden and fragrant, add lemongrass and continue to fry.
Next, add half the amount of tomatoes into the pot to stir-fry. Season with a little salt for the tomatoes to have a nice color. Continue to stir-fry until the tomatoes are slightly soft, then add 1 tablespoon of chili powder and 2 whole chilies for spiciness.
Tip: If you don’t like spicy food, you can adjust the amount of chili powder and whole chilies to suit your taste. -
Prepare the broth
When the tomatoes are completely soft, add 1.5 liters of chicken broth to the pot and cover it.
When the broth starts to boil, add the pineapple to the pot. Then season with 2 tablespoons of salt and 1 tablespoon of sugar. You can adjust the seasoning to fit your taste.
After seasoning to your liking, wait until the broth is boiling vigorously before adding the canned fish. Be careful not to stir too hard as it will break the fish meat. Continue to boil.
Finally, after the broth has boiled for a few more minutes, add the remaining tomatoes and a little chopped green onion to the pot.
