Posted: 4/11/00 7:10 pm; templeofthai
7 small oval flat fish(we used pond fish we caught!);clean but leave head and bones intact; salt generously with sea salt and let rest 1 hour or overnight
1 4oz. can sour curry paste(Mae Sri is good)
7 pepperoncini salad peppers,cut in half
3 oz. of the pickling liquid from the pepperoncini
fish sauce to taste
Mix the curry paste in a small bowl with 1/2 cup water to dilute. Put fish in small cooking pot. Add the diluted curry paste. Add just enough water to cover the fish, the amount depends on the size of the fish. Don't add too much water.
Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium high, cooking at a low boil. (Not simmer!)
Add the pepperoncini and the pickling liquid. Boil until the fish is opaque, just cooked.
Taste and add fish sauce to taste.
Add a little less paste if you prefer, but this was perfect for us. let me know how it turns out!
