What it is
Whole gourami fish grilled to perfection, often marinated with a blend of spices before grilling. It's typically served with sambal (chili sauce) and fresh vegetables.
Key ingredients
Whole gourami fish, cooking oil (for brushing), salt, turmeric, garlic, ginger, chilies (for marinade, often minimal if any), served with sambal and cucumber/tomato slices.
Optional tweaks
Ensure the marinade is not excessively sweet (some places might use kecap manis for charring effect). Request sambal on the side to control sugar content if any. Ask for no rice.
Say this to the waiter (Indonesian)
Gurame Bakar-nya tolong bumbunya jangan terlalu manis ya. Bisa minta sambal terpisah dan tanpa nasi?
For the Gurame Bakar, please ensure the marinade is not sweet. Can I have sambal on the side, and no rice, please?
Watch out for
Sweet soy sauce (kecap manis) in the marinade for caramelization, hidden sugar in accompanying sambal.
