Brilio.net - Asam padeh is one of the typical Minangkabau dishes that is appetizing with its distinctive sour and spicy taste. The specialty of this dish lies in the simplicity of its spices which are able to present a strong delicious taste. The cooking process which is not too long keeps the texture of the food ingredients soft and the spices are perfectly absorbed.
In general, this dish is cooked using fish as the main ingredient, such as tuna or snapper, which is cooked in a rich spice mix. The combination of sourness from asam kandis or tamarind and the spiciness of chili makes asam padeh a complex and delicious dish on the tongue. Plus, the soft texture of the fish will make this dish even more delicious.
But what happens when the sour and spicy sauce clashes with the hard filling? This was once demonstrated by a woman on the TikTok account @heyymeen___.
Through one of the videos uploaded, the woman recorded the moment when she cooked asam padeh. However, there was something strange about the dish. Instead of cooking fish or protein, the asam padeh was cooked with glass bottle cap filling.

The oddity was not visible at first. At the beginning of the video, the netizen was seen sauting red spices. He used complete cooking equipment, such as a stove, pan, and a pink aesthetic statula. With colors that match the pan, the cooking video looks very attractive.
Shortly after sauting the spices, the woman added spices in the form of crushed lemongrass and lime leaves. She also added tamarind that had been dissolved in water. Shortly after, she added water to the dish and stirred the delicious-looking sour and padeh sauce.

Unfortunately, not long after, the woman put a bowl of bottle caps into the pan. She stirred the bottle caps and covered the pan like when cooking asam padeh with protein filling. After being cooked in a covered condition, the asam padeh sauce seemed to boil. The woman immediately transferred the asam padeh bottle caps to a serving plate.
" You just have to suck it, don't eat it, your teeth will break ," said TikTok/@heyymeen___, quoted by BrilioFood on Monday (16/9).
