Resep Asam Padeh Ikan Tongkol
Not all traditional Minangkabau dishes are creamy and rich in spices; you should try “asam padeh,” a spicy and tangy dish that doesn’t use coconut milk. It’s a vibrant red stew with a spicy, savory, and sour flavor.

Ingredients
8 servings
Instructions
- Clean and wash the fish. I pour lime juice all over the surface. Leave it for 15 minutes then rinse again until clean. Set aside.
- Saute ground spices until fragrant.
- Add kandis acid, galangal, lemongrass, bay leaves, lime leaves and turmeric leaves. Stir well.
- Pour in the water then stir well and cook until it boils.
- Add the tuna and starfruit. Stir well. Cook over low heat until the fish is cooked and the sauce has reduced. Correct the taste. Lift.
- Ready to be served.
- 1. If you don't have kandis acid, you can replace it with tamarind water. 2. The amount of water can be adjusted to taste according to the amount of sauce. 3. Sugar can be skipped according to taste. 4. So that the fish meat doesn't fall apart when stirring, use an IKEA SPECIELL spatula (See Lazada DISCOUNT). With this spatula, the pan will not be scratched and the fish flesh will not be destroyed. Because, IKEA SPECIELL spatulas are made from food grade polyamide which is not sharp, non-sticky and non-sticky.
