Tempered Dried Fish

Dried fish are very popular in Nepal and are used extensively in various recipes, eaten as fish jerky, or used to make pickles. I usually make my own dried fish in a food dehydrator, but it is also available at Asian markets and specialty food stores where you can find small and medium-size whole dried fish. When selecting the fish, make sure it is freshly dried or smoked, as it tends to spoil quickly. Store-bought varieties may contain salt, so adjust the salt in this recipe accordingly. Y
