How to prepare grilled stingray fish with tamarind sauce
-
Prepare the ingredients
Wash the stingray fish thoroughly with water and let it drain to make the fish softer and tastier when grilled.
Remove the stems from the chili peppers, wash them again with water, then cut them into small slices.
-
Grill the stingray fish
Place the stingray fish on the grill and grill over low heat, turning both sides of the fish until it is evenly golden and be careful not to let it burn too much!
To ensure the fish is soft and absorbs the tamarind sauce better when eaten, once the fish is evenly cooked, golden on both sides and fragrant, use a pestle or a hard object to break the fish apart.
-
Making tamarind sauce
Put 30g of ripe sour tamarind, chopped chili, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and 7 tablespoons of fish sauce into a bowl, stir well and press hard to extract all the sourness from the tamarind.
Adjust the seasoning to suit your family’s taste and it’s done.
