Fish Parcels Recipe Asian Style.
This fish parcel recipe is given by my beautiful friend Josephine. The dish is inspired by the tastes of her birth country Burma. Untuk versi bahasa kunjungi Resep Fish Parcel.
One afternoon I invited my friend Josephine to come around for tea. Well it was my cooking day actually and I love to have company while I’m cooking. I know she is a very good cook, I would describe her cooking is as very authentic Burmese cuisine. Each time I go around to her house she makes plenty of beautiful meals, literally……..restaurant type of meals.
Jo is very good at cooking any type of seafood which I’m completely opposite, but I’m getting there 🙂 So she taught me step by step to follow her fish parcels recipe.
Ingredients:
Fresh salmon (or other fish) roughly 400gr, cut into 4 long strips
4 silverbeet leaves, soak in hot water just until the colour changes, drain (squeeze the water out once it cold)
4 tbsp olive oil or any other cooking oil
2 tsp fish sauce
1 bunch of coriander leaves or cilantro (roughly 8 springs), cut 2 cm length
1 big green chilli, thinly sliced (optional)
