Ikan bakar rica-rica

Indonesia · Southeast Asia

Short description: This grilled-fish preparation is smoky, sharp, and chile-forward, with heat supplied by a fresh or cooked relish.
Ingredients: Whole fish, red chiles, shallots, garlic, ginger, lemongrass, lime, tomato, herbs, salt, and oil.
Cultural note: It is associated with coastal grilling traditions where fresh fish and vivid chile condiments are served side by side.
Common misconception: It is not the same as sweet soy-glazed grilled fish; the defining flavor is the hot chile relish.
