2. Line the bowls with the cabbage leaves
3. hand mix the fish, mussels and prawns
4. put the fish, mussels and prawns in the bowls.
5. Stir the peanuts and chilies into the sauce mixture and pour over the seafood.
Leave a little expansion space at the top of the dish.
1. Place the filled bowls in a steamer, and steam for 15 to 20 minutes
(until the seafood is cooked and the sauce has set into a mousse like consistency).
To serve
Either serve the dishes 'as is' with the usual Thai table condiments, or for a more formal occasion, whip some thick coconut milk, and garnish each bowl with a couple of teaspoons of the whipped coconut milk and a slivered red chili. |
