In step number two of the "Tilapia Steamed Rolls" recipe, you say to pound the ingredients together. Do you mean to pound in a a "mortar and pestle" type of equipment? I don't have one you see and was wondering if I could just finely chop those ingredients and mix them togehter? There are no Asian stores nearby (2 hour drive away) you see and I don't no where to purchase one since I have only seen the very tiny ones used for spices on rare occassion. Other than that, the recipe looks and "reads" like it would be delicious!

Yes, in Thailand we do this a lot, look in the equipment section of this site.

Another way to do it, is to put the ingredients into a plastic bag and bash them with a rolling pin.
