If you enjoy fish head noodles and are staying around the Subang Jaya vicinity, Uncle Yen would be a good place to check out.  Thanks to my blogger friend Veronica of QuayPoCooks who posted yummy looking photos of her meal at Uncle Yen, I made a mental note to drop by.

Side dishes / Appetizers: Post #3 : Turmeric Fish Fillet

I'm sure you could tell from my posts for the last few weeks that lately, my cooking entails recipes that one can cook with their eyes half closed.  Simple soups, easy appetizers, one-pot-meals. 

Side Dishes / Appetizers: Post #1 : Sardines in Lettuce Boats

I thought it would be fun to feature some side dishes and/or appetisers as a series.  This is a simple and tasty appetizer that I often make.  The taste is sourish savoury, with a light spicy kick.  Use iceberg lettuce to give it that crunch and extra juiciness. 

This can also be made into a light sandwich lunch using the bread of your choice.

Best served chilled.

Sardines in Lettuce Boats

• 1 can (425g) of sardines in tomato sauce (I use Ayam brand)
• 7 small calamansi, juice only
• 1.5 tbspn tom yum paste
• 1 cup of chopped mint leves
• 1/2 large onion, chopped
• 4 tbspn japanese mayo (kewpie) or normal mayo
• Sugar to taste
• Small lettuce cups

1.  Mash the sardines with the tomato gravy.

2.  Add in all the seasonings and mix well.  Chill in the fridge for about 1-2 hours.

3.  Scoop a tspn onto each lettuce cup and pop into your mouth!

Note: For a different presentation, you can also serve this on thick cucumber slices.  Don't like sardine?  Just sub it with tuna, tastes just as good.
