– To make the dish delicious, you should choose a thick, dry, yellow-colored jackfruit fiber with a characteristic sweet aroma of jackfruit. Do not choose white, chewy jackfruit like Thai jackfruit.

– When buying scad, you cut off the gills, remove the intestines, and then wash them with water. To avoid fishy smell, you can use a mixture of white wine and minced ginger to wash the fish. Or you can use flour or tapioca to sprinkle on the fish, then rub the fish body and wash it with water.

Step 2: Marinate the fish

After being washed, cut in half, then marinate with 2 tablespoons of colored water, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 4 tablespoons of fish sauce, 1 tablespoon of monosodium glutamate, minced chili, and 1 teaspoon of pepper. Then mix the fish well and marinate for about 30 minutes for the fish to infuse the spices.

Step 3: Braised scad with jackfruit fiber

– You put 1 layer of jackfruit fiber on the bottom of the pot, then put the scad on top, continue to add another layer of jackfruit fiber and fish layer, do that until the fish is gone. Note, the top layer is the jackfruit fiber layer. Then, you drizzle 2 tablespoons of cooking oil on top, leave for about 30 minutes for the fish to absorb evenly.

– Put the pot on the stove, put fresh coconut water on the surface of the fish. You braise with high heat until the water boils again, then lower the heat to low, cook until the water is still viscous, then taste again and turn off the stove. If the water is low, you can add more filtered water.

Step 4: Done

You put the braised scad with jackfruit fiber on a plate, sprinkle with minced scallions and serve with hot rice and soup.
