Hazırlanışı

Adım adım

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.
Yaklaşık 5 dk.
Aşçının notu: 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.
Yaklaşık 3 dk.
Aşçının notu: 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.
Yaklaşık 1 dk.
4
Mix all ingredients thoroughly by hand until a smooth, sticky paste forms.
Yaklaşık 5 dk.
Aşçının notu: 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.
Yaklaşık 4 dk.
Aşçının notu: 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.
Yaklaşık 4 dk.
Aşçının notu: 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).
Yaklaşık 5 dk.
Aşçının notu: If using an oven, you can bake them on a baking sheet.
8
Brush the banana leaf parcels lightly with vegetable oil if grilling.
Yaklaşık 1 dk.
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.
Yaklaşık 15 dk.
Aşçının notu: The charring of the banana leaf adds a wonderful smoky aroma.
10
Serve hot, either in the banana leaf or unwrapped.
Aşçının notu: Be careful when unwrapping, as the steam will be hot.
