Sweetlip Fillets With Tamarind Recipes

Steps:

• Fry the garlic in a little oil till softened.
• Add the teriyaki, sugar, fish sauce, tamarind liquid and ginger and boil for a few minutes until slightly thickened.
• Steam the fish fillets for about 12 mins, or until cooked.
• Drizzle the sauce over the fish fillets and garnish with chili and green onion.
• Nice served with steamed rice and a Chinese green vegetable.

Steps:

• In a small bowl combine tamarind and water and let stand 10 minutes. With your fingers rub tamarind to dissolve in water. Pour mixture through a sieve into a small heavy saucepan, pressing hard on solids, and discard solids. Thinly slice shallots and mince garlic. Add shallots, garlic, cilantro roots, fish sauce, sugar, and salt to tamarind water and simmer, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Keep sauce warm, covered. Sauce may be made 1 hour ahead and reheated before serving.
• Preheat broiler.
• Lightly brush rack of a small broiler pan with oil and on it arrange snapper fillets, skin sides down. Season fish with salt and broil 4 to 5 inches from heat until just cooked through, 7 to 8 minutes. While fish is broiling, thinly slice scallions and, wearing protective gloves, thinly slice chiles diagonally. Stir whole basil leaves into warm sauce just before serving.
• Transfer fish to a platter and pour tamarind sauce over it. Scatter scallions and chiles over fish and garnish with basil sprigs.

Steps:

• In a sauce pan, heat oil on low heat. Fry the shallots until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
• Add the whole chilis and stir frequent as the chilis will cook very fast. They will turn darker when they are done. Remove the chilis and set aside.
• Add the rest of the ingredients. Let the sauce simmer for one or two minutes. Remove and serve in a small bowl. The sauce will get thicker as it cools.
• Sprinkle the fried shallot and chili on top. If you prefer it hotter, break up the chilis into small pieces and sprinkle on top the sauce.
