Asam pedas is a popular sour and spicy fish stew thats often cooked for family meals in malaysia and indonesia. We like to use freshwater pomfret as that particular fish is naturally sweeter than others, but you can also use salmon, stingray, red snapper and many other local fishes. There are countless variations in hand-me-down recipes, but weve combined the best to bring you the most appetising version of asam pedas. Pair it with steaming coconut or normal basmati rice and the rice soak up the tasty gravy
