Masak tauco pedas-pedas ini saya belajar dari pembantu rumah saya orang Indonesia. Biasanya dia buat sambal tauco pakai tempeh, banyak menggunakan cili padi niris nipis. Sesuai makan dengan lontong. Saya gunakan konsep yang sama tapi saya pakai masak dengan ikan tenggiri. Tidak menggunakan terlalu banyak cili padi seperti pembantu saya, cukup buat rasa pedas-pedas supaya masakan tidak terlalu muak.  Syok makan dengan nasi panas.
