Resep Pepes Ikan Mas Khas Sunda
Besides frying, snakehead fish is delicious when made into pepes, a traditional Sundanese dish with a rich, spiced flavor and tender texture. The strong aroma comes from herbs like basil, lemongrass, and turmeric.

Instructions
- Clean the fish, remove the scales and inside the stomach. Split the fish into 2 parts but don't break them apart. Wash the fish clean with running water.
- Make several strokes on the fish's body. Cover with lime juice and salt. Let it soak and set aside.
- Saute the ground spices in a little oil until fragrant. Turn off the fire.
- Add the fish to the sautéed spices. Coat all parts of the fish with spices evenly.
- Take banana leaves. Arrange the fish with inner leaves, lemongrass, cayenne pepper, tomatoes, basil leaves and spring onions. Put all the remaining stir-fried spices on top. Wrap it neatly, pin both ends with a toothpick.
- Steam the pepes over medium heat for 1 hour 30 minutes. Lift.
- Heat a flat frying pan and roast the pepes for approximately 10 minutes, turning them back and forth until the banana leaves are dry. Lift.
- Ready to be served.
- 1. Use really fresh goldfish. 2. Saute the ground spices until they are really fragrant so they don't smell unpleasant and raw. 3. When cooking fish, choose a steamer with a fairly large diameter so that there is enough fish packaging. Like the Supra Rantang 3 Layers (See at Lazada DISCOUNT) which has a diameter of 24 cm. The body of the Supra pan is made of sturdy and quality stainless steel. So, you can be sure that your pepes fish will cook evenly.
