This is #canned food inspired dish that is originated from migrated Chinese from China and is popular in Malaysia and Singapore. We love this dish but for some, it's an aquired taste. Most canned versions use #Dace but I have no idea what Dace fish is so i use this small fresh sardines. It works very well and tastes very much like the one from the can, if not better.

Use a slow cook pot or pressure cooker.
