   حوالي 1 د

3. 3

   Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours, to allow the flavors to meld.

   ملاحظة الطاهي: Marinating longer will result in deeper flavor.

4. 4

   Prepare the sauce by combining the shrimp paste, lime juice, and sugar in a small bowl; stir well until the sugar dissolves.

   حوالي 2 د

   ملاحظة الطاهي: Add a few drops of hot water if the shrimp paste is too thick to mix.

5. 5

   Stir in the sliced chili, if using, and set aside.

6. 6

   Heat a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat, then add the vegetable oil.

   حوالي 3 د

   ملاحظة الطاهي: Use a generous amount of oil as the fish will absorb some and it helps cook the herbs later.

7. 7

   Once the oil is hot, add the marinated fish in a single layer, working in batches if necessary to avoid crowding the pan.

8. 8

   Cook the fish for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.

   حوالي 6 د

   ملاحظة الطاهي: Be careful not to overcook the fish, as it can become dry.

9. 9

   Once the fish is cooked, add the dill and scallions to the pan with the fish.

10. 10

    Toss gently and cook for 1-2 minutes, just until the herbs are slightly wilted.

    حوالي 2 د

    ملاحظة الطاهي: The herbs should still be vibrant green.

11. 11

    Serve immediately with cooked vermicelli noodles, crushed roasted peanuts, and the prepared shrimp paste sauce.

    ملاحظة الطاهي: Encourage diners to mix everything together in their bowls.
