    Chef's notes

    Keep the cod pieces fairly large so they do not break up too much in the pan.
    Drink pairing
    Seafood, cream and white wine call for crispness, minerality and citrus rather than heavy sweetness.

    Chef's notes

    Leftover cooked rice works especially well here. Serve with extra sambal on the side.
    Drink pairing
    This dish is salty, spicy and fast, with shrimp sweetness and sambal heat. Crisp, cold drinks with citrus or gentle sweetness work best.
