Lemongrass Sweet and Spicy Grilled Fish Cooking Steps
Prepare the sweet and spicy sauce: Remove the seeds from the chili and peel the garlic. Put them in a pot with three times the amount of water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then simmer over low heat for twenty minutes. Add an appropriate amount of starch and fish sauce, stir into a paste, and add tomato sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil and set aside.
Wash the fish and pat dry. Cut open the back and flatten it.
Remove the tender core of the lemongrass, wash it, and chop it finely. Mix it with the sweet and spicy sauce and stir-fried Red 99 hot pot base. Spread it evenly on the fish and marinate for twenty minutes.
Place the marinated fish on a plate and put it in the oven. Grill for fifteen minutes.
