Method

Directions

1

Marinate the Sea Bass

In a bowl, combine turmeric powder, fish sauce, minced garlic, and sliced shallots. Add sea bass fillets and coat well. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

2

Prepare for Cooking

Heat vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat.

3

Cook the Sea Bass

Add the marinated sea bass fillets to the hot oil. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until crispy and cooked through.

4

Add Fresh Herbs

Once the sea bass is cooked, add the chopped dill, mint, cilantro, and Thai basil to the wok. Toss everything together and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the herbs are fragrant.

5

Serve

Transfer the Cha Ca to a serving platter and serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.
