• Servings: 1
• 1/2 lb red snapper

• 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1 tablespoon chicken flavor instant bouillon, maggi brand name
• 4 ounces cooking oil

Recipe

• 1 seasoning: mix lemongrass, chili pepper, tumeric powder & chicken bouillon together.
• 2 cut a few lines on the surface of snapper: this will help the snapper absorbs the seasoning easier.
• 3 apply the above season all over snapper. leave it from 15-30 minutes the more you leave, the taste will be great.
• 4 heat the pan, pour the oil. leave it few minutes until the oil turns hot. put the snapper into the pan, after 5 minutes, turn to another side for another 5 minutes. reduce hit to medium, check it often to make sure it is not burning. depends on the side of snapper, fry it within 15-20 minutes or until completely cooked.
• 5 serve with rice.
• 6 note: i prefer to use fresh lemongrass as it is strong smell & taste. the frozen lemongrass will not bring to you the authentic taste & smell of this dish. - i always use chicken bouillon to season all my foods as it does not make your food salty like salt and very easy to season the food too.
