This is a forgotten dish and cannot find in any Peranakan restaurant. Even when I was in Malacca. Luckily I learned this from my dad before he passed away. When I cooked this for my family, it brings good memory. Different from yours, I use green lime juice, small onion n a bit of galangal to taste 😊. Taste better if overnight in fridge
I grew up eating ikan tempra. My mum never cooked ayam tempra but they are the same ingredients just different meat. I shall try with chicken meat next one day. 😊
@@CarolTansKitchenyou may fry the fish first (not deep-fried) then put the fish into the tempra sauce to boil then dish out, or just put the fish to simmer in the tempra sauce until cooked. I usually use black vinegar instead of lemon in my tempra.
Thanks so much! Please let me know how it goes, take a photo and tag me on FB!!! You can always increase/decrease the amount of salt and sugar to your taste ;)
