...............................................
Fillet fish.....(leave skin on)
Cut into pieces
Generously salt all sides of fillets
Put a layer of rice in Tupperware
Then layer rice/ fish/rice/fish/rice..etc
Seal tight with lid and place inside ziplock for additional sealing.
Leave under sink for 2 weeks and ferment...occasionally pressing every 4 days.
..................cooking in Part 2 ....two weeks from now(2/20)'.........

So, I'm an adventurous eater for a white guy, but this scares me.  Are you making food or sturgeon bait?

If you survive this I would like to know how it turns out.

Buro!!!

just like a Patis recipe - with rice added!
BTW: If you have eaten Thai/Southesat Asian food you have tasted the "juice" of this or something similar

Alan, I can smell it from my computer.

Wait 13 more days then you can really smell it

can we get a picture every few days? till then

who decided the two week deal first...think he tried different time frames

My ancestors that have been eating this for centuries said a minimum of 2 weeks.
But since it is winter again, fermenting might take longer.
This stuff will be sauted in garlic, onion, tomato and a little bit of Sinigang broth.
STAY TUNED!!!!!

What's the purpose of the rice?  Does that get eaten too?

Yup...
It become like a sour paste to dip steamed vegetable like okra, eggplant n bitter melon.

Is that going to be enough for all of us?

OK, with all this history, I'm really interested now

Google Burong Isda
I just thought since the forum is made up of different ethnic group, it'll be a good idea to go Savage on fish recipe.  Not that there is anything wrong with beer battered fish.  Go Bizare every now n then
