Cumi Asam Pedas
2010 May 18
Another dish of my mom that I really fond of is Cumi (cuttlefish) Asam (sour) Pedas (spicy). I tried to replicate the dish for few times but I never could get the dish to taste and look the same as my mom’s. Next time I go back to Indonesia, I should ask her to cook me this dish while I watch. I will update the recipe with the new better version of my mother.
Ingredients
- 1 kg of calamari/cuttle fish, clean the translucent bone, ink and skin, cut
- 3 tomatoes, cut in cubes
- 1 capsicum, cut in long strips
- 2 green long chillies, slice
- 2 cloves, sliced thinly
- 1 onion, sliced
- 1 cup tomato sauce, more or less
- 1 tbsp chilli sauce, more or less
- salt and sugar to adjust
- oil for stir frying
Instructions
- Heat the oil in the wok. Add the garlic and stir for 1 minute.
- Add tomatoes, onion and green chillies. Stir for 2-3 minutes.
- Add in the cuttle fish and 1 tsp of salt and stir for few minutes. Turn the heat into low medium and close the wok with lid. Cook it for about 20-25 minutes. Stir it every 10 minutes. This will let the cuttle fish to be tender and the juice out, so no need to add water.
- Add the capsicum, tomato sauce and chilli sauce and stir.
- Taste and adjust with sugar and salt.
Preparation time (duration): 90
Culinary tradition: Indonesian
