Notes:
- You can see the Chinese influence (soybean sauce) mixed with Indonesian/Indochina influence (lemongrass, shallots). Kentucky powder, which is very popular in Indonesia, is a reverse engineering version of KFC recipes.
- The popular recipe in Indonesia is to use Gourami fish, but it’s not easy to find Gourami here in Europe so I use (Mediteranian) Tilapia instead. You can also use Snappers (kakap) which are easier to find in Europe.
Variation: use tofu instead of fish.
