These rice flour parcels contain shredded fish. If you look at the back of the photograph, you can see I've cut one open. They're a little tricky to make, the pastry is sticky and a little difficult to work with, so have plenty of flour on hand to dust your hands and tools with. Once ready, eat them warm, garnished with fried garlic.
Ingredients ![]()
70 gms Hake Fish (Oily fish like mackerel also work well)
1 Teaspoon Salt
1/2 Teaspoon White Pepper
1 Tablespoon Fish Sauce
100 gms Rice Flour
50 gms Sticky Rice Flour
50 gms Corn Flour
400 ml Water
2 Tablespoons Oil
Preparation
1. Grill the fish until cooked, remove the meat from the bones and mince it finely with a fork.
2. Fry the mince in a tablespoon of oil for 1 minute, add the salt, white pepper and fish sauce.
3. Put the rice flour and sticky rice flour into a saucepan, add the water and cook over a medium heat. Keep stirring, the sauce will cook and thicken to a paste after a few minutes.
4. Add the corn flour and stir to mix it in, then leave to cool enough so that you can work with it.
5. Put a little wheat flour on a plate, take a tablespoon, coat it in the wheat flour so that it doesn't stick, and scoop out a tablespoon of the flour paste. Roll the ball of paste in the flour so that it isn't sticky, then flatten it in your hand to form a disc.
6. Spoon a teaspoon of the fish mixture into the centre and fold up and crimp the edges.
7. Oil a piece of tinfoil and place in the steamer, then steam the parcels for 8 minutes and leave to cool.
8. Serve with lots of fresh green vegetables.
