    Preparation Steps

    1

    If the salted fish is too salty, soak it in cold water for 1-2 hours. Drain well and cut into smaller pieces.

    2

    Finely chop the onion, garlic, and bell pepper. Finely chop the parsley.

    3

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

    4

    Add the garlic and stir, sautéing for another minute until fragrant.

    5

    Add the bell pepper and green peas to the skillet, then sauté for 2-3 minutes.

    6

    Add the salted fish pieces and cook for 3-4 minutes, until slightly browned and releasing its flavor.

    7

    Pour in the cooked rice and mix thoroughly with the ingredients. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

    8

    Stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Finally, sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
