Recipe Description

Unwrapping a banana leaf parcel of fragrant fish creates an interactive wow-factor and adds a sense of drama to an otherwise simple dish. Asking your guests to add their own garnish is a nice touch, too. You can source banana leaves at Asian grocers or online. Same deal with kampot pepper, which has a mild, almost caramel flavour and doesn’t overpower the fish.

Ingredient List

2 banana leaves
1 lemongrass stem, white part only
4 large slices of ginger
6 spring onions (scallions)
4 fillets of best-quality white fish (ideally flathead)
4 kaffir lime leaves
30 g (1 oz) kampot pepper (or black pepper)
30 g (1 oz) salt
2 lime cheeks
200 g (7 oz) rice, steamed

Recipe Steps

First spread out the banana leaves on a clean flat surface. Cut the lemongrass stem into quarters and then divide across the banana leaves, followed by the slices of ginger. Quarter the whites of 4 spring onions the same way as the lemongrass and place in the centre of the banana leaves. Put the fish on top and wrap the banana leaf around the fish. Tie the parcels with some kitchen string. To steam the fish, place a tight fitting bamboo steamer on top of a large pot of boiling water. Steam the fish for 6–8 minutes with the lid on.

Shred the green parts of the remaining spring onion and kaffir lime leaves as finely as possible, and put them in a small serving bowl. 

Using a spice grinder, finely grind the pepper and salt together. 

Place the kampot pepper mix, lime cheeks, bowl of spring onion greens and kaffir lime leaves, and rice in the middle of the table. Place the banana leaf parcels on the plates and let your guests unwrap it themselves. Your guests can garnish to taste.
