Pelara
Pelara is a Malaysian fermented fish condiment traditionally made from ikan selayang until deeply savory and soft. Serve a small spoonful with rice, herbs, chile, lime, and crisp vegetables for a pungent coastal meal.
π Recipe adapted from Wikidata (Dish)
Spoon fermented fish into a small dish and loosen it with a little lime juice.
Slice shallot, bird chile, cucumber, and long beans very thinly.
Arrange hot rice, herbs, vegetables, and the pelara together so the condiment stays distinct.
Mix small bites at the table, balancing the salty fermented fish with lime and fresh crunch.
