Snakehead fish 2 fish Cashew fruit 4 fruits (should buy the medium ripe type) Bean sprouts 200 gr Spring onion/cilantro A little Red onion 2 bulbs Tamarind juice 2 tablespoons Cooking oil 6 tablespoons Common spices A little (seasoning/ sugar/ salt)
How to choose good, sweet cashew fruits
- Choose cashew fruits that have shiny, smooth skin, with yellow or natural reddish color; those are the ripe cashew fruits.
- Use your nose to smell; when the cashew fruit is ripe, it will have a light sweet fragrance, and when eaten, it will be sweet, not too bitter.
- Avoid buying cashew fruits with many dark spots or deep bite marks left on them; also, avoid buying overly soft ripe cashew fruits, as they will easily get mashed during cooking.

Prepare the ingredients
When buying cashew nuts, cut off the seed and top, rinse with water, then use a knife to cut into wedges.
Shallots peel and chop finely. Culantro and green onions cut off the ends, wash clean, and chop small.
Clean the fish by removing the intestines, then rinse with diluted salt water to eliminate the fishy smell, and rinse again with clean water.
