frying fish
October 4, 2012One of my best comfort food is ikan goreng, nasi and kicap. I loveeee that dish and I could have plates and plates of just that.
As simple as that dish is, I have never made it in my life. So I thought I’d wing it one night. How hard can it be la right?
When I marinated the fish with salt and turmeric, I squealed. I have never had to molest anything raw that was a whole. I mean, chicken and beef, you only see the meat. but fish…fish you see the whole thing!! Its eyes judging you, its mouth frowning.
Look at them! They look so angry.
Dean just had to come and take a picture of me being all geli as I marinated them.
Wearing Nana G Sylvie top.
After wiping my tears and saying sorry to the fish, I left it to marinate for half an hour.
When it was time to fry, oil was popping everywhere so I had to cover my face.
“Don’t you squirt on this, fish!! I’m sorryyyy!!”
MIL recommended me to buy the net thing to cover the frying pan so oil won’t splash.
Must steal from her house one of these days.
After a few minutes…voila!
One of the most satisfying yet simplest comfort food in the whole wide world.

Fried fish! Now imma go get some !
good try, kene belajar masak menu lain p
pula =)
u should use mitten to cover ur hand so that the oil yang splash2 tu wont hurt ur hand… i pun pakai mitten jugak..nak kasi selamat, i goreng apa2 dalam deep fryer… he he he… minyak tak splash, tangan pun tak kena minyak panas…
VIvy dear,
Dah lama baca blog you but saja this time nak drop comment. Well yepp minyak tu banyak sangat. If goreng ayam, guna banyak minyak but ikan tak boleh sebab dia akan absorb minyak nanti.
I selalu goreng daging potong kecil-kecil, tumis bawang besar (potong bulat dalam 1 biji) goreng dalam 2-3 sudu besar minyak masak. letak garam halus sikit and black pepper. then baru masuk daging.
Wow this NuffnangX thing is cool ! Vivy, i saw you store eggs on that spiral thingy. Im now lecturing on food principles and preparation for uni students so just to share, egg shells has 17 000 tiny pores and the nutrient content of egg esp water and protein is ideal for bacterial growth so best to keep them in the fridge together with its carton to ensure its freshness. Cheers !
the first time I had to clean the fish’s insides, I was like tearing and saying sorry too…mom was looking at me with the “tak boleh la ni..cannot kahwin dah..” expression. haha
Ahhh,the egg tower still there.Voila!Well done Vivy.Lagi seda gaul dengan kunyit.But make sure guna sarung tangan masa gaul.Or else,habis kuku semua.:(
yeah… minyak tu banyak sgt. hehe btw, cantik.. masak pun pakai cincin ๐
Just buy tefal actifyer.. so takpayah susah2 nak fikir minyak semua ๐ Btw, pandai la u clean the fish.. I dah 4 tahun kawen.. and jarang sangat beli ikan coz i dont know how to clean the fish.. If nak makan ikan, I suruh the seller tu clean the fish siap2.. ehhehe
shud try with a little bit chili padi and nasi panas letak butter sikit…
Hello Vivy, Simple, yummy meal.
btw, your kitchen looks lovely. Is it possible to show us the whole kitchen one of these days?
byknye minyak dear.. :))
kikikkikik u so comel lah Vieeeeeeeee. The meal looks yummy though. Sonok kan kan, main masak masak hubby n wife, just d two of you. Even the simplest and d silliest things pun can add so much love to the relationship. I pray you guys berkekalan ke akhir hayat aamiin.
a ah.. kurangkan minyak… ayam takpe byk minyak. teringin lah pulak. love ikan goreng +nasi +kicap too. or telur goreng+nasi+kicap. yums.
Aiyo dean doesnt mind u just serve him ikan goreng and eat with nasi + kicap? Other husbands might just eat out or marry another girl..tehehe
u use basmathi rice? that’s healthy. less starch.
Kak vivy, use less oil. it’s okay to use less oil to fry the fish. ๐ Plus, less oil more healthier ๐
hahahah i didn’t notice the egg tower till i read the comments heehee
gud luck.. step by step ok.. ๐
eh, i dont agree with the comment “minyak banyak” (of course not on health issue). actually untuk menggoreng ikan or ayam, kena minyak banyak, ikan & ayam mesti tenggelam dalam minyak. ok that’s not a healthy advice :p
google ‘pemanggang ajaib’….less minyak and xde percik2….
Dear Vivy…u’re such the cutest… ๐
OMG Vivy!, You could fry two whole chicken with that amount of oil! LOL Keep up the good work tho Vy. ๐ & congrats on winning the 1mil MYEG Pitch! Really proud of you! hugs
well done girl! tp next time xperlu pakai minyak byk eh utk goreng ikan.
๐
I’m surprised u didn’t hv a cardiac arrest with that amount of oil dude!!!!! Get those metal tongs which are like a foot long so that u don’t hv to stand so close to the pan….I’ve got one And I love it hehehehe
so cute of you ^^ goreng minyk byk pun xpe as long as it’s on the right temperature. low temperature tu yg minyak masuk dlm mknn. cheers!
Vivy, u dont have to wait half an hour. U can just fry them right away after seasoning them. Beef is a different story.
Vivy, mcmana kau siang ikan tu? nampak macam kau cubit kluar isi perut dia je. hahahaha..lantak le kan? asalkan sedap dimakan ^_____^
vivy, i nampak egg tower…hehe
i nampak egg tower, come
come on u can do it vivy. just keep on practicing. i know u’ll be a great cook someday. at least the effort to learn and try is there.
oh my.. byk nyer minyak.. its okay.. keep trying.. practice makes perfect..
you can coat the fish in light coating of all purpose flour so they won’t splatter when you fry them..I learned this trick from my MIL too! And it works!
err still need to marinate eh? hihi
Err… you might not wanna use plastic tongs in hot oil… but hey, great job on cooking dinner!
vivy, what net thingy? must tell me because i’m clueless here and it would help lots. thanks so much!
