Simple dinner of Ikan Terubok Masin and Pea Sprouts (Tou Miao)

Our Sunday night dinner was simple fried ikan terubok masin (salted terubok fish) and stir-fry garlic pea sprouts. The salted terubok fish was given to us by mom-in-law few weeks ago.
In case you do not know, salted terubok is famous in Sarawak. Visitors usually carry back nicely packed salted terubok for their family and friends.

What do you do with salted terubok? Usually one fries the fish and eat them with rice. In our case, hubby fried the fish while I made a simple dip consisting of bird-eye chillies and garlic (both pounded), juice from 3 limes, kicap manis and sugar to taste.

We were told there's no need to remove the scales as after frying they become so crunchy and easily eaten.

The 2nd dish I cooked was the stir-fried pea sprouts or called Tou Miao in Chinese.  I did not add any sauce, just some salt and sugar to taste, as well as some chilli flakes (our latest obsession).



That's all we had tonight. Come tomorrow, we will have spaghetti for dinner:)
