Mod de preparare

Pas cu pas

1
Prepare the spice paste by blending the shallots, red chilies, garlic cloves, ginger, lemongrass, turmeric powder, galangal, and shrimp paste in a food processor until smooth. Add a splash of water if needed to help it blend.
Aproximativ 5 min.
2
In a mixing bowl, combine the minced mackerel fillet with the prepared spice paste, coconut milk, tapioca flour, salt, and sugar.
Aproximativ 3 min.
3
Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined and form a thick paste. Set aside to marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Aproximativ 15 min.
Nota bucătarului: Marinating allows the flavors to meld together.
4
Briefly wilt the banana leaf pieces over a low flame or by dipping them in hot water; this makes them pliable and easier to fold without tearing.
Aproximativ 2 min.
5
Place a spoonful of the fish mixture onto the center of each banana leaf square.
Aproximativ 3 min.
6
Fold the banana leaf into a neat parcel, securing the ends with toothpicks.
Aproximativ 5 min.
7
Preheat a grill or prepare a steamer. If grilling, cook the parcels over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes per side, until the fish is cooked through and the banana leaves are slightly charred.
Aproximativ 15 min.
Nota bucătarului: If steaming, steam for 10-12 minutes until firm.
8
Serve the Otak-Otak hot, directly from the banana leaf parcels.
