I like to host guests at my home from time to time, and I am gathering  recipes of different dishes and drinks to keep things interesting. I am interested in trying some Indonesian dishes. Can you give me a recipe for Pepes Ikan?

Let’s try it! First, what I have in mind is this video, since it shows the ingredients and a step-by-step of how to prepare it:

Ingredients:

6 sprigs of cilantro (coriander leaves)
1 stalk lemongrass
1 garlic clove
1⁄4 tsp salt
10 shallots
3 Tbsp white sugar
1⁄2 can unsweetened coconut milk
3 Tbsp lime juice
10 pieces of ikan panggang (marinated fresh water fish, see pic)
Directions:

1. Rinse and grind first 5 ingredients (cilantro, lemongrass, garlic, salt and shallots) into a smooth paste.
2. In a pot, mix the ground paste and sugar with the coconut milk and cook for about 10 minutes. 
3. Then stir in the lime juice.
4. Finally, add the fish and simmer for about 2 minutes. 
5. Serve hot with rice and cucumber.

Now, you can ask me specific questions, and if you like I’ll also point you to some further information about Indonesian cuisine.  In fact, what I really want to do is encourage you to engage with me in asking questions that help you get closer to what you want.  Ask anything that comes to mind, or that you think might lead to something you want.
