Vietnamese turmeric fish

This was very delicious, but somewhat tricky and time-consuming.

Recipe here:  https://delightfulplate.com/vietnamese-turmeric-fish-noodles-cha-ca/

Only modifications were I served it on rice instead of rice noodle, and I used about 1/3rd as much dill and scallion as in the original.

There were a really interesting mix of flavors.  The galangal goes great with the fish.  The fried scallion gives a nice sweet caramelized flavor.  The dipping sauce is largely lime and raw garlic which adds a sharp taste on top of everything else.  The roasted peanuts are yet another layer.  Fancy!

Here's the fish marinating

The scallion and dill


Ta da!


I forgot the peanuts in the first shot
