MOK PA

2-3 firm white fish filets
3-6 Thai chili peppers, fresh or dried
1 stalk lemongrass, sliced
4 tbs. soaked glutinous rice
6-8 lime leaves
1 bunch dill
salt and pepper
fish sauce
msg and sugar
banana leaves or foil

TIP: Cat fish and Tilapia works wonderfully

Ground rice, peppers and lemongrass in a mortar or blend in a blender with a little water. Thinly slice the lime leaves and rough chop the dill. Cut up fish filets into chunks, toss with ground mixture and lime leaves.

Season with salt and pepper, msg, fish sauce and sugar. Wrap mixture in banana leaves or foil substitute. Steam until cooked. Substitute chicken breast for the fish for a different variation.

Kaffir lime leafs are hard to find fresh here where I live, at least I never found them before. I see some use padek or just fish sauce.
