Fried Anchovy with sweet soy sauce

Very typical Singaporean, Malaysian and Indonesian dish. Simple and easy to make. In Asia we ate this as a snacks or together with other main dish.

100g Dried Anchovy (Ikan Bilis)

1 large Onion slice

2 Garlic chop

10 Thai chilli 

10 tbs Sweet Soy Sauce (Kicap Manis)

3 tbs Tamarind (Optional)

Pepper and Salt to taste

Instruction:

Wash clean the dried anchovy. Pat with paper towel to dry.

Fried them in a frying pan with some oil.

Once they are crispy, set them aside on a plate.

Stir in slice onion and garlic,

Next Thai chilli,

Put back in the fried anchovy and pour in sweet soy sauce.

Add in a small amount of tamarind if you prefer to have it a bit sour and sweet taste. (I prefer without)

A few dash of Salt and pepper to taste.
