It’s not often that mumbler cooks, but when she does, she goes into a frenzy. Here is one such dish done during her post- paeds break.
Fish In Vegetable Roll
serves 4
6 lettuce leaves, sliced into 2, discard the central vein stalk
300g of white fillet, cubed
marinade:
1 stalk of lemongrass, only the lower part and inner portions, sliced
1 chilli padi, deseeded, minced
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/2 teaspoon of sugar
1 teaspoon of lime juice
1/2 teaspoon of ground pepper
2 cloves of garlic, minced
2 teaspoons of oil
Steps:
1. Mix the marinade well, and place fish cubes in, ensuring that they are well coated. Leave for 30 minutes.
2. Place a cube each into the half-leaf and roll it up. Repeat till you get 12 rolls.
3. Steam for 10 minutes. Serve hot.
my experience:
This is an altered recipe. The original has it done with banana leaves, where you have the option of grilling and would definitely make it look more appetizing than my oversized brussel sprouts rolls! Be sure too not to over cook the fish.
