1 tsp fish sauce
1 tbsp rice / cornstarch flour
1 tbsp brown sugar
1/4 tsp sea salt
4 kaffir lime leaves ~ thinly sliced
Directions:
- In a large bowl, mix all the marinate mixture till smooth paste. Toss the fish in this mixture until coated well to ensure even seasoning.
- On a clean work-surface, arrange a banana leaf (shiny side down) & place about 4 Thai basi leaves in the center of the bottom 1/4 of the leaf. Top the basil with 4-6 slices of fish per package, shingling them tightly. Gently, yet tightly, roll the fish in the banana leaf, creating several layers around fish & securing it with toothpicks or skewers.
- Cook the fish on a preheated grill, griddle, or skillet over medium heat for about 3-5 mins on each side, until the leaf is lightly-charred & fish is cooked through. (If doubt about doneness, use an instant read thermometer for 135 F / 57 C)
- To serve, carefully open the packets, drizzle with coconut milk & sprnkle with coriander leaves & chilies. Serve with lime wedges.
