I tried salted fish fried rice while in singapore and fell in love with it. So needed to find the recipe. This is best recepie I came across. So delicious
@@harshabahardeen8202 you should be able to get at most Asian supermarkets. If you live in Melbourne try Richmond near the city, or even at Southern Cross train station, I’ve bought it at the Asian supermarket next to Coles. It’s usually in the dried packets section on the shelves.
Hello @Elrica Kosasih..I got this salted fish from the Asian supermarket across from Coles supermarket at Southern Cross Station. Here is a video, ua-cam.com/video/A5D6TsRN47U/v-deo.html I did to show the Asian supermarket at Southern Cross station. Cheers, Victor
Thanks for sharing your recipe and tips. Please also share with us how to make the famous Penang Pasembur ( Mamak Rojak) and the Rojak buah too. Thanks in advance.
You’re welcome @emerald garnet…unfortunately I am not a big fan of pasembur or rojak..and never make them. I know 😬..and I don’t like durian 🤣. Most of my Penang friends said to me that I am missing out!
i have watched over 10 videos on how to make salted fish fried rice, but no one says WHAT KIND of salted fish is it. most people can't just goto american store and find salted fish.
Hello @Umah Hewitt…in Australia, we can get it at most Asian grocers. Usually on the same rack as other dried products like dried shrimps and dried cuttlefish. If not, in the refrigerator section. I assume you should be able to find the product in US at the Asian grocers in the bigger cities. Cheers, Victor
Hi @Umah Hewitt…if it’s not firm, it will fall apart when you stir fry in the fried rice. One option is you can fry it separately and then add in last by tossing through once or twice. My suggestion is to leave it if you can’t find the variety we use in Chinese cooking. We tend to use it for added saltiness and the flavour. Mackerel is good because it has a stronger flavour. But not essential. Alternatively if you like prawns, you can use prawns in the fried rice for a touch of seafood flavour in your dish 😊 Cheers, Victor
Wow Victor, using so much salted fish on fried rice won't it be v salty? And u add soy sauce hmmm.. honestly the fried rice won't be salty. Because I use salted fish and oh boy it's crazy salty tht y when I cook fried rice jus use a bit shredded and than fried till crispy and added it into the fried rice before serving it this way it won't be salty hahahah tht my 2 cents worth tht how I cook my rice jus the same way as you but not using so much salted fish and I don't add soy sauce. And i don't wash it ... Tks for the recipe love tht all.
@smoky rene...hahhaa...yeah, I love salted fish. Quite additive..like adding anchovies in my pasta or pizza with all the saltiness and smoky fishy flavour. The fried salted fish were not that salty in my fried rice because I have washed off most of the salt. That was how my mother taught me. Otherwise it will be very salty in the fried rice. So I think you can do either approach. If don't prewash, use just a little, otherwise fried rice will become too salty to eat. I know visually it is hard to know how the dish actually tasted. It was only slightly salty when I bite on the salted fish itself. Overall together with the rice, I could barely taste the saltiness. On a scale of 1-5 on saltiness, I would rate it about 3 in the middle. I didn't want to add salt, and opt for light soy just a little to slightly wet the rice during the stir fry. Overall I could only faintly taste the soy sauce. The salted fish has a strong flavour and that was what I could pick up in the flavour of my fried rice, and a slight hint of ginger from the marinated chicken. My only criticism is that I didn't cut the salted fish small enough. I could have cut it smaller so it is a bit crispier. The size that I had should work better in a rice porridge, and maybe a teochew omelette with preserved turnips, and a side Chinese green in garlic sauce. Thanks for sharing your feedback and sharing with the viewers how you would do yours differently. Always appreciate constructive feedback from my viewers. :-) Cheers, Victor
@@foodtripwithvictor tks Victor, appreciate yr honesty tht why I like to watch yr video. Noted will try washing oh but my salted fish when we bought this particular one its soft so if I wash it will it be v mushy pls advise many tks ... oh don't forget the penang laksa hahhaha .
Thanks @@smokyrene7093 …yeah my mother told me there are different types of salted fish …I am still figuring that out myself as we don’t get that many different varieties in Melbourne, and they are already pre packed in plastic..so can be a hit and miss when buying one. I usually go for a Malaysian product and Ikan kurau type. If the type you bought is not a solid chunk, then perhaps like you say don’t wash it. Or maybe try put the salted fish in a siever and gently immerse halfway in a bowl of cold water and gently move the siever up and down to get rid of the excess salt. Remove and place over a bowl to let the water drip and air dry naturally. Do not touch with your hands so you won’t disturb and accidentally break them. When it is completely dried, then fry them until crispy. I haven’t try this..but that is what I would normally do when it comes to something dried and delicate which may break easily. Hope this works. Oh..🤣🤣❤️…I haven’t forgotten the Penang asam laksa..but I will probably do a Penang curry mee first. Cheers, Victor

Its hard to find salted fish here in the US.

I'm in the US, where did you get your salted fish from?

@@foodtripwithvictor Thank you Victor. Love your show. Word of advice, never show your back to your audience.
Thanks for the advice @Umah Hewitt
Maybe I could use salted cod. What do you think?
