 Fry the fish in hot oil until browned, then drain and set aside.

 Cut the carrots and cucumber into matchsticks. You can remove the seeds for the cucumber or if the cucumber is still young you don't need to remove the seeds. Also cut the starfruit vegetables.

---

 Prepare all the ground spice ingredients then put them in a blender or you can puree them manually.

---

 Blend the spices until smooth then set aside.

---

 Once all the ingredients are ready, heat the oil used for frying the fish then saute the ground spices until fragrant, add additional spices and cook until fragrant.

---

 Add enough water, I used approximately 1.5 liters, then add the seasoning except vinegar (you can adjust the seasoning according to your taste) and cook until it boils.

---

 Add the carrots then the cucumber and cook until it boils again, then add the cooking vinegar again while correcting the taste. If it's just right, add the star fruit vegetables and fish.

---

Cook the yellow pickled fish until cooked and absorbed into the sauce. You can cook it until it reduces slightly.

---

Yellow pickled fish is ready to be served with warm rice.

 
Don't forget to clean your kitchen after you're done cooking
