Instructions

  1. Clean the fish, remove the scales and inside the stomach. Split the fish into 2 parts but don't break them apart. Wash the fish clean with running water.
  2. Make several strokes on the fish's body. Cover with lime juice and salt. Let it soak and set aside.
  3. Saute the ground spices in a little oil until fragrant. Turn off the fire.
  4. Add the fish to the sautéed spices. Coat all parts of the fish with spices evenly.
  5. Take banana leaves. Arrange the fish with inner leaves, lemongrass, cayenne pepper, tomatoes, basil leaves and spring onions. Put all the remaining stir-fried spices on top. Wrap it neatly, pin both ends with a toothpick.
  6. Steam the pepes over medium heat for 1 hour 30 minutes. Lift.
  7. Heat a flat frying pan and roast the pepes for approximately 10 minutes, turning them back and forth until the banana leaves are dry. Lift.
  8. Ready to be served.
  9. 1. Use really fresh goldfish. 2. Saute the ground spices until they are really fragrant so they don't smell unpleasant and raw. 3. When cooking fish, choose a steamer with a fairly large diameter so that there is enough fish packaging. Like the Supra Rantang 3 Layers (See at Lazada DISCOUNT) which has a diameter of 24 cm. The body of the Supra pan is made of sturdy and quality stainless steel.  So, you can be sure that your pepes fish will cook evenly.
