Trey Cha Kroeung is a traditional Cambodian dish known for its flavors of lemongrass, garlic, and turmeric. In this recipe, a whole fish is marinated and then fried for a delicious meal with intense flavors.
Ingredients
- 1 whole fish (e.g. tilapia, about 500 to 700 g)
- 2 stalks lemongrass, finely chopped
- 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 1 small red chili, seeded and finely sliced
- 1 tsp turmeric
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp fish sauce
- 1 tsp sugar
- Salt to taste
- 4 tbsp vegetable oil for frying
- Fresh cilantro leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Clean and scale the fish and rinse it inside and out under running water.
- In a bowl, mix the lemongrass, garlic, chili, turmeric, paprika, fish sauce, sugar, and a pinch of salt into a paste.
- Rub the paste thoroughly over the fish, inside and out. Marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to an hour for a stronger flavor.
- Heat enough vegetable oil in a large pan.
- Put the marinated fish in the pan and fry over medium heat for 7 to 10 minutes on each side, until the fish is cooked through and crispy on the outside.
