Add soaked salt fish to the skillet and cook for 5 minutes, breaking it into pieces.

Stir in boiled black-eyed peas and coconut milk, cooking for another 5 minutes.

Season with thyme, scallions, and pepper sauce to taste.

Cook rice according to package instructions, using coconut milk for added flavor if desired.

Prepare bake by mixing flour, baking powder, and water to form a dough.

Fry dough in hot oil until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes.

Serve the salt fish mixture over rice with bake on the side.

Garnish with cucumber slices and lime wedges.
