作法
- 將鮪魚與水、香茅、薑及鹽煮沸。
- 燉煮4小時,撈除浮沫。
- 撈出煮熟的鮪魚,保留待之後攪打。
- 持續以小火將高湯收乾6-8小時——湯汁應大幅濃縮並轉為深棕黑色,幾乎濃稠成醬。
- 湯汁濃稠後,加入煮熟的鮪魚攪打。成品為濃稠的里哈庫魯醬。
- 裝入玻璃罐冷藏保存。作為沾醬時搭配辣椒末、洋蔥與萊姆;作為咖哩調味時取1-2大匙。

Can 里哈庫魯魚醬 be scaled up or down?
This recipe is written for 12 servings. To scale, multiply each ingredient proportionally; the cooking times stay the same up to about double the volume. Beyond that, expect to cook in batches because of pan size and heat distribution.
文化背景
里哈庫魯為馬爾地夫魚醬——是馬爾地夫保存料理的核心。數百年來作為馬爾地夫的鮮味濃縮品;冷藏設備尚未出現前,是保存鮪魚漁獲的方式。現代馬爾地夫商業里哈庫魯以玻璃罐裝販售,但家中自製仍受偏好。兼具沾醬與調味用途。
