Dried anchovies are a popular ingredient in Southeast Asian cuisine, particularly in countries that make up the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). In these regions, dried anchovies are commonly used as a seasoning or ingredient in various dishes.
To prepare dried anchovies, they are first washed and cleaned, then dried in the sun or with a dehydrator. The dried anchovies can be used whole or ground into a powder to add flavor to soups, stews, and stir-fries. They can also be used as a topping for salads, noodles, and rice dishes.
In some countries, such as Malaysia and Indonesia, dried anchovies are commonly used to make a traditional condiment called "sambal ikan bilis," which is a spicy chili paste made with anchovies, chili peppers, and other seasonings. In the Philippines, dried anchovies are also commonly used as a snack, either deep-fried or roasted and seasoned with spices.
