👨🍳 Fremgangsmåte
- 1
Blanch the taro leaves in boiling water for 2-3 minutes to soften them. Immediately plunge into cold water, then pat dry.

In a bowl, combine the chopped fish, onion, garlic, ginger, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- 3
Lay a taro leaf flat, shiny side down. Place a portion of the fish mixture in the center.
- 4
Fold the sides of the taro leaf over the filling, then roll it up tightly like a spring roll. Repeat with remaining leaves and filling.
- 5
Arrange the rolled leaves seam-side down in a steamer basket or a pot suitable for steaming.
- 6
In a separate bowl, whisk together the coconut cream and water. Pour this mixture over the taro leaf rolls.

Steam the rolls for 30-40 minutes, or until the taro leaves are tender and the filling is cooked through. Baste occasionally with the coconut cream sauce.

Serve hot, spooning some of the coconut sauce over each roll.
