Ikan Sumbat Sambal Kelapa ~ Coconut Sambal Stuffed fish~ 椰丝參巴醬酿鱼

This stuffed fish recipe was created after i tried few nice stuffed fish from my friend and my friend's mother . Love the citrus aroma from the Kaffir lime leaves and coconut aroma from the grated coconut. This time i used ikan cencaru or hardtail mackarel fish , but i still prefer that one i cooked with ikan kembung which the flesh was more fine.




A very Malay influence dishes for dinner the other day, this stuffed fish served with cabbage stir fried with oyster and fried eggs in soy sauce gravy.

Good afternoon, I have a question I would like to make the malayan rice pancake, but I do not know the method of fermenting it a day before. Could you help me, conveying how to do it. Thank you very much.

This is a very good idea by using coconut sambal to stuff the fish. Its more convenient to work on it especially when frying it.
Happy weekend, Sonia.
Blessings, Kristy

I love fried stuffed ikan kembung, the sambal tied so well with the fish. We don't have ikan kembung here in Melbourne, and I have no idea what fish to use for stuffing, so I haven't cook this in many many years. Looking at your dish brings back memories....

Somehow cannot view your recipe now except for those in your current posting. What happen?

When frying this stuffed fish, a lot of sambal oozed out & get wasted in the oil. Do you have the same problem?
