'Asam Fish' is usually cooked with lady fingers, brinjal, tomatoes, chilies, tamarind juice and lots of spices but here in US it is difficult to find all the fresh ingredients for the asam paste. It is lucky for us now as we are able to buy all these ready made paste online from
http://www.mytasteofasia.com/. I used the ChanHong Rempah Asam Kari and I like the tangy and spicy taste of the gravy. Do give it try and you won't be disappointed.

1/2 onions, 10 Okra and two handful of cherry tomatoes or two large tomatoes
Fish or any kind of seafood

That looks SO delicious, Gert! I just made a note to add the paste to my next order from myTOA. What type of fish did you use? I don't like tomatoes cooked and will probably use eggplants instead. Keep the recipes coming .... THANK YOU! Did Carlos try this dish??
Hi Rita,
I am not sure what fish is that. I bought it because it looks familiar ;) Yeah, you can use eggplant of this dish. Nope, only Diana and I ate the dish ;)
