Scrumptious Fried ‘Ikan Bilis’ & Walnuts

Wash ‘Ikan Bilis’ with cold water a couple of times and clean them. Remove unwanted pieces such as scales and heads. Drain well. *This process softens very dry ‘Ikan Bilis’ and also reduces the saltiness.

In a small bowl, combine Sugar, Soy Sauce and Sake (Rice Wine).

Heat Oil in a frying pan over low heat, cook ‘Ikan Bilis’ and Walnuts until golden and crunchy, but do not over cook.

Add the sauce mixture, stir to combine, and remove from heat. Sprinkle Rice Vinegar over and stir. The sauce will thicken with the remaining heat. Sprinkle with Toasted Sesame Seeds.
