Ingredients
Whole Sardine - 10.0 pc Garlic Powder - 1.0 tsp

Turmeric - 0.75 tsp Salt - 1.0 tsp

Cornstarch - 2.0 tsp Dry Crushed Chili - 0.5 tsp

White Pepper - 0.5 tsp Black Pepper - 0.25 tsp

Oil - 3.0 tbsp Coconut Milk - 1.0 tbsp

Fresh Red Chili - 1.0 pc Fresh Coriander - 0.25 cup

Fish Sauce - 2.0 tbsp Lime Juice - 4.0 tbsp

Garlic Minced - 2.0 clove Brown Sugar - 1.0 tsp

Method
1. Lightly oil the grill with a little cooking oil to prevent fish from sticking.

2. To make the barbecue rub, simply stir all the rub ingredients together in a small bowl.

3. If the Spiced Sardines you are using are already cleaned and prepared, skip this step. If not, cleaning Spiced
Sardines is relatively easy.

4. Make a cut along the bottom of the fish and remove the intestines and entrails (simply run your finger inside the
cut).

5. Rinse and place the fish aside to dry.

6. Place prepared Spiced Sardines on a tray or in a long casserole dish, so that they're lying flat.

7. Drizzle with about 1 tbsp vegetable oil and slather evenly over the fish.

8. Now sprinkle the BBQ rub you made earlier over the entire surface of the fish. Gently rub it along each fish, so
they appear yellow-gold.

9. Sprinkle any remaining rub powder over the fish and set aside to marinate until your barbecue/grill is hot (at
least 10 minutes).

10. To make the sauce: Simply place all sauce ingredients in a small pot or sauce pan.
11. Heat very briefly (do not boil) - just warm up over medium heat to bring out the flavors, and it's ready! Taste-
test for salt, adding more fish sauce if not salty enough, or another squeeze of lime juice if too salty for your taste.

12. Add a little more sugar if too sour. (Note: You only need a tsp of this sauce per fish, as it's very flavorful).

13. Before grilling, make sure your grill is lightly oiled or the Spiced Sardines will stick. Grill the fish until cooked -
about 5-8 minutes each side. When done, the fish will appear golden and the skin will be crisp.

14. Enjoy the fish as is, or spoon over the sauce for an extra Thai treat. The sauce is also very nice with rice.!
