1

Clean the fish thoroughly. Boil water and add the fish along with the fermented fish sauce. Once the fish is cooked, remove it and let it cool.
2

In a pan, roast the chilies, shallots, and garlic until slightly charred. If using a charcoal grill, skewer and grill them for a smoky flavor.
3

Pound the roasted chilies, shallots, and garlic until fine. Flake the fish meat and add it to the mixture, pounding until smooth. Transfer to a bowl and season with MSG and the boiled fermented fish sauce, mixing well.
4

Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with fresh vegetables of your choice.
