Cod fillet in batter
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. The finished sauce should ideally be chilled in the refrigerator before serving. Feel free to experiment with breadcrumbs; for example, I've added curry a couple of times, and it turned out to be a very interesting combination! As for Sriracha sauce, if you can't find it in stores, you can easily make it at home. This sauce has a spicy-sweet flavor. To prepare it, you'll need: 200 g red fresno chili peppers (you can substitute jalapeño or serrano); 2 tablespoons palm sugar; 1 teaspoon medium-grain salt; 1 cup vinegar; 4 garlic cloves. Chop the peppers, mince the garlic, pour vinegar over everything, add a pinch of salt, and let it steep overnight. The next day, heat the mixture on the stove, add the sugar, bring to a boil, and let it simmer for about 5 minutes. Then transfer everything to a blender and blend thoroughly until smooth. Finally, strain the sauce through a sieve—your homemade Sriracha is ready! However, if you don't want to go through the trouble, just follow the simple recipe for battered cod fillet below and skip making the sauce :) Good luck! The finished dish is now ready to be served.
