Across Indonesia, you will always find a roadside stall with iconic banners of hand-drawn catfish and other protein variants, like chicken or duck, to depict this popular dish. Known as a cheap and comforting option, Pecel Lele usually consists of deep fried catfish served with a warm plate of rice, cabbage, cucumber, basil leaves, and of course, the quintessential tomato-based sambal on the side.

Fry fish
- In a frying pan, fry the fish until cooked or golden brown.
| At the time of cleaning the fish, try to clean it completely so that the fish does not smell fishy because catfish can be slimy and have a slightly stinging fishy smell, if you like sweet soy sauce, then you can add another 1-2 spoons of soy sauce. This catfish pecel is usually served with some fresh vegetables and is also added with tofu or fried tempeh.
