👨🍳 Instrukcje

Prepare the aromatics: In a mortar and pestle or food processor, pound or blend lemongrass, galangal, garlic, shallots, and chilies (if using) into a coarse paste.

In a bowl, combine the fish pieces, coconut milk, chopped dill, green onions, cilantro, the aromatic paste, fish sauce, and sugar. Mix gently to coat the fish evenly.
💡 Wskazówki profesjonalistów: Do not overmix, as this can break up the fish too much. - 3
To assemble the parcels: Lay out a piece of banana leaf. Place a portion of the fish mixture in the center. Fold the leaf to create a neat parcel, securing with toothpicks or kitchen twine.
