Seafood Sauce (Method 1)
Seafood sauce made by chopping shrimp, crab, and fish, adding salt, and fermenting.
Ingredients
shrimp (select, wash, drain, and mince)
to taste
crab (select, wash, drain, and mince)
to taste
fish (select, wash, drain, and mince)
to taste
salt (preferably coarse salt)
to taste
Instructions
1
Preparing the seafood
First, sort, wash, and drain the shrimp, crab, and fish separately.
2
Mincing
Mince each type separately until the texture is slightly coarser than a meat paste.
3
Bottling and salting
After mincing, place the minced seafood into a container (a jar or wide-mouth glass bottle, sterilized with boiling water and drained before use). Do not fill the sauce too full. Add the salt and stir until evenly mixed.
4
Fermenting
Seal the opening with cheesecloth and place in a sunny spot for natural fermentation. Open the cheesecloth once a day and stir with a dry, sterilized rolling pin.
