Looks like it might be a type of sate sauce or It's not a sate sauce, but is useful for chicken, pork and fish, such as: Spread the mixed fish paste and chile over the fish fillets, cut the fillets in slices, 1 - 1½ inches. In, preferably a wok, heat 2 tbsp oil and soften the onion for 5 minutes. Add the lime leaves, REMPAH PASTE and water, stirring and bringing to a boil. Add all the seeds and simmer for about 8 minutes. In another pan, crisp-fry the spring onions and sliced garlic in very little oil, DO NOT BURN, they should be a deep golden crisp (crunchy). In yet another wok or pan, fry the sliced fish for 2-3 minutes,(with little oil), until just done. Discard the oil, pour the sauce over the fish and cook gently for another 2-3 min. Add the lime juice and sprinkle the crispy onions and garlic over.
