Julia made a wonderfully aromatic Assam Pedas with the citrussy notes of lemongrass and grassy, herby flavours from the laksa leaf to balance the savoury notes from the belacan. I was surprised didn’t contain galangal.

We added fish sauce for saltiness and extra flavour, and that worked really well, especially since the red snapper cutlet we got from Springvale was rather tasteless. The red snapper was rather tough which was quite appropriate for this method of cooking.
