Story of my popular dish
Actually! This Thai dish is steamed fish with red curry paste in banana leaf cup.
When I came to United States I really missed my Thai cooking ! I really love this dish from my mother but she loves to make it from scratch …She get’s the coconut from the tree to get coconut milk. Make’s her own curry paste, catches and cleans then prepares the fish by her-self and cuts the banana leaves to make a banana cup!!! Finally put them in a huge , 15” Wide 12” Height steamer. Ooooh much of work!
That was long processed but they came up really good and really impressed people who have eaten her cooking! ( don’t mind to do that in Thailand too)
How about me? , here I can’t get the big steamer(expensive) and I don’t want frozen banana leaves ( the shape can change when you bake in the oven) for my delicious dish.
Then I just adapted my way to cook .The way was changed and I incorporated the American muffin pan. “ Ooops sorry mama” I told
her . My mother said “ It doesn’t matter how are they look as long as it test good I’m happy.
So, I created these recipes for myself and my husband’s family. It succeeded from the first time I tried. They really enjoyed the fish cakes . And later on I did it again for their friend’s parties ( Thai dinner party)and they talk a lots about me and my fish cake.
OK now I’ll let you guys go ahead and cook ’em
