做法
- 把干辣椒、新鲜辣椒、红葱头、大蒜、南姜、姜黄和belacan加少量水搅成顺滑酱。
- 在重锅中加热油。中火把香料酱炒8分钟至颜色加深成砖红、油浮出。加拍裂香茅和姜花;搅60秒。
- 倒入800毫升水。加罗望子膏、asam keping、棕榈糖和盐。煮沸炖10分钟——汤应变鲜艳红橙色,asam keping开始散开。
- 加鱼块和番茄。降至小火;煮8分钟,中途小心翻一次鱼。肉应不透明开始片状脱离。
- 最后3分钟加秋葵。试味调整——asam pedas应先猛烈酸,然后辣,盐和甜在底下圆润。
- 关火加daun kesum。盖盖静置5分钟。在深碗或直接锅中热上桌,旁边配米饭。过夜更好;轻轻加热。

文化背景
Asam pedas是马六甲烹饪的核心——这座受葡萄牙影响的港口城市的马来、中国、印度和欧亚传统融合在这道菜上。森美兰版本用略不同辣椒并加tempoyak(发酵榴莲);柔佛版本更酸。魟鱼(ikan pari)是传统鱼;鲭鱼是现代常用替代。姜花(bunga kantan)是马来签名;许多家庭版本省略但失去花香。
