How do we measure the amount of ikan bilis when they are in grounded form?

Question

Accepted Answer

Anchovies are naturally high in sodium. As we are unable to ascertain that commercially grounded anchovies (ikan bilis) are thoroughly rinsed and soaked before being grounded, it is not recommended to be used. If the preschool/school wants to use anchovies (ikan bilis) to make soup, do ensure that the anchovies are properly rinsed and soaked before use.
