Pindang fish is known as one of the processed fish that comes from the type of salmon or layang fish. Usually, the fish will be cooked with spices so that the texture is soft. The processing process involves several stages, starting from cleaning, boiling or steaming with salt and spices, to drying.
The process is considered to be able to extend the shelf life of fish. Many people consider the process of making this pindang fish quite complicated. Therefore, most people will choose to buy pindang fish directly at the market. However, usually, pindang fish sold in the market is wrapped or processed with newspaper, which makes the fish contaminated.
If you want to eat healthier pindang fish, you can actually make it yourself at home. An Instagram user @rifa_ardiyanti once shared a practical way to make pindang fish. Well, with special techniques, the texture of pindang fish can be softer, but not destroyed or fishy.
As reported by BrilioFood from Instagram @rifa_ardiyanti on Saturday (14/9), she admitted to using one type of leaf spice to make pindang fish, namely bay leaves. Well, bay leaves are used to remove the fishy smell when the fish is cooked. In addition, bay leaves are also used to wrap the fish, so that the meat does not easily stick and disintegrate.
Next, sprinkle enough salt all over the bay leaves. Once done, cover the pan and steam the fish over low heat for 40 minutes. This process will make the fish meat soft like the pindang fish sold in the market.
