Asam stingray, ray-wing (ikan pari)

I have been hankering for something Asam quite awhile now. I know today is going to be HOT and it might end up being the hottest day of the year 2024 in UK but I have bought these skate wings on Saturday and they must be eaten by today. I do not want to freeze them. The chap selling did tell me I could freeze them but I prefer them inside my tummy.

So it’s kinda a, if needs must cook/eat time. I woke up early to water my plants and then started in the kitchen. I wanted to finish cooking before the midday sun. Today I have decided to part with half of my precious frozen torch ginger. No point in saving it for a rainy day. Just eat. kekekekeke

I did not have any fresh tomatoes as the ones left in my little kitchen garden are still green So for the different level of sourness, I decided it’s time to rinse out that bottle of tomato sauce that I have been saving too. I am happy to report that it works!

During the summer in UK when the weather is like now I am usually blessed with an abundance of laksa leaves or Vietnamese mint. I know people freezes them and I do too but when there is a plenty I like to use them fresh. Today I cooked with my own laksa leaves and chillies. Them chillies has a bit of a kick.

I repeat again, my recipe is a guide so please make it your own. I made extras kuah today because hubby said he wants some tomorrow. So tomorrow I will add in a tin of sardines and maybe more red onions and he would be a very happy man. Weird kwai loh that he is!
