Thanks

Hi LH,
Ingredient B:(blended)
Blend all together.
The recipe is missing something. I think we got to fry the blended ingredients after frying the ikan bilis. is it this way
Step no.2: In the same wok, fry ingredient (B) over low heat till oil seeps out, add in seasoning. Turn off heat, add in lime juice, mix well. Add in no.(1), toss well before dishing up.
