Hello Foodies Bee Hive Lovers, see you again with 
those who like spicy food, those who like chili sauce, come closer, today I will cook catfish with tomato lemon grass sauce, because yesterday I just harvested catfish in my pond.
I didn't have the heart to kill him by hitting him, because of that, the catfish that I just harvested from the pond I immediately gave salt to kill the catfish, this way the catfish will die and the mucus will come out, making it easier for us when frying.
Catfish is a voracious freshwater fish, because this fish likes to eat anything, so this fish grows fast. Catfish is a freshwater fish that does not have scales with a sweet flesh taste.
Catfish is usually cooked by frying with various sauces, today I will fry catfish with lemongrass sauce. You can feel a different sensation with this lemongrass chili sauce, I also added cayenne pepper with a little ginger and tomato to enrich the taste.
Can't wait for the recipe, let's prepare the ingredients.
first ingredient:
catfish 1 kilogram
salt 1/2 tablespoon
cooking oil 1/2 liter
The second ingredient is ingredients consisting of spices and seasonings, namely:
lemongrass 15 pieces
cayenne pepper 100 grams
tomatoes 2 pieces
ginger 1 knuckle
garlic 5 cloves
bombay onion 1 piece
salt 1/2 tablespoon
sugar 1/2 teaspoon
If you like a sour taste sensation, you can change the tomatoes to green tomatoes.
In Indonesia this large onion is called bombay onion, it tastes less spicy but very fragrant, perfect for making lemongrass chili sauce. but if you don't have it, you can replace it with another onion that smells good.
Then how to process catfish? catfish has a lot of mucus in its body, usually people will give lemon juice to get rid of the fishy smell caused by the mucus released by catfish, but I only give it salt to remove the mucus.
The steps:
the first step is to give salt to the catfish that has been cut into pieces and washed, stir until the salt is mixed together.
the second step: heat the cooking oil, after the oil is hot, fry the catfish.
Don't forget to turn it over when it's browned and take it out after all the pieces are colored. While waiting for the fried fish, we can make the sauce.
the third step: wash the garlic, ginger and bombay onion, then cut into small pieces.
the fourth step: wash the tomatoes and cayenne pepper, then cut into small pieces.
the fifth step: wash the lemongrass and then cut into small pieces, don't grind it.
the sixth step: arrange the fried catfish on a serving plate, I add cabbage as a salad.
the seventh step: heat cooking oil then saute garlic, ginger and bombay onion until fragrant.
the eighth step: mix the lemongrass into the stir-fry seasoning.
the ninth step: put the cayenne pepper and tomato into the stir-fry seasoning and mix well
the tenth step: don't forget to add sugar and salt.
After all the ingredients are mixed and become wilted, remove it immediately, don't overcook. so the tomato lemongrass chili sauce is half cooked.
Pour the hot lemongrass sauce over the fried catfish.
Catfish with tomato lemon grass sauce can be enjoyed with warm rice or plain bread. Good luck trying this recipe, I'm sure you will be addicted by the taste sensation.
