How to Cook Lai Huat Seafood Inspired Sambal Fish

This is a dish inspired by Lai Huat Seafood restaurant in Singapore. Ever since we started this cooking channel, we seldom get the opportunity to eat out over the weekend because we’re always stuck at home producing new recipes for you. Before we started this channel, we used to eat at Lai Huat Seafood a lot & we especially love their sambal fish. Their sambal was to-die-for. I’m not sure if they’re still good but they used to be really nice. Have you tried it before? Let me know your thoughts about them. By the way, if you fancy, you can make more of the sambal chilli & keep them in the fridge as ingredient for other dishes such as sambal kangkung or even chilli crabs. However, please try to consume the chilli within a week as no preservatives were added

Refer to the ingredient list below and watch our step-by-step video on YouTube

Hope you can recreate this yummy dish in the comfort of your home. Thanks for dropping by our channel.
