Marina’s Story
I always like to cook a side dish that can be eaten together with white rice and a main. Ikan Bilis & Kacang Sira keeps well, tastes amazing....absolutely easy to cook if your technique is correct, and goes beautifully with any main dish. So, after cooking it, I bottled it up so we can eat it anytime, anywhere, with anything!
