Sposób przygotowania

Krok po kroku

1
Prepare the spice paste by combining shallots, garlic cloves, red chilies, lemongrass, galangal, and turmeric powder in a food processor or mortar and pestle.
Około 5 min
Wskazówka kucharza: If using a mortar and pestle, pound until a fine paste is formed.
2
Add the fish fillet chunks to the food processor with the spice paste and pulse until the fish is finely minced and well combined with the paste, but not puréed.
Około 3 min
Wskazówka kucharza: Ensure the fish is very cold to keep the texture firm.
3
Transfer the fish mixture to a mixing bowl, then add the coconut milk, tapioca starch, palm sugar, and salt.
Około 1 min
4
Mix all ingredients thoroughly by hand until a smooth, sticky paste forms.
Około 5 min
Wskazówka kucharza: The mixture should be firm enough to hold its shape.
5
Spoon a portion of the fish mixture onto the center of each softened banana leaf.
Około 4 min
Wskazówka kucharza: Softening banana leaves makes them pliable and less likely to crack. You can do this by briefly passing them over a flame or soaking them in hot water.
6
Fold the banana leaf into a neat parcel, securing the ends with toothpicks.
Około 4 min
Wskazówka kucharza: Aim for a rectangular shape, similar to a small packet.
7
Preheat your grill to medium heat or preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Około 5 min
Wskazówka kucharza: If using an oven, you can bake them on a baking sheet.
8
Brush the banana leaf parcels lightly with vegetable oil if grilling.
Około 1 min
9
Grill the otak-otak parcels for 5-7 minutes on each side, or bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes, until the fish cake is cooked through and the banana leaf is slightly charred.
Około 15 min
Wskazówka kucharza: The charring of the banana leaf adds a wonderful smoky aroma.
10
Serve hot, either in the banana leaf or unwrapped.
Wskazówka kucharza: Be careful when unwrapping, as the steam will be hot.
