Steps:

1. Heat the oil. Fry the smoked fish over low heat until crisp, a sign that the fish is cooked and dry; no hiss is heard, and the steam in the cooking oil is no longer visible. Lift and drain.

2. Prepare the chili paste (balado) ingredients: finely grind red chilies, shallots, and garlic. Add salt to taste and tomatoes.

3. Sauté the mashed ingredients over low heat, add flavoring to taste. Stir so that the chili cooks perfectly.  Add lime juice to give the chili a sour and fresh taste. Then fried until you smell the aroma of chili. Once cooked, turn off the heat and let it cool.

4. Arrange the smoked fish on a serving plate. Flush with the chili that has been sautéed.
