Instructions

  1. Prepare the Spice Mixture: Combine all the bumbu ingredients in a blender or mortar and pestle, and blend until smooth.

  2. Prepare the Banana Leaves: Heat the banana leaves over an open flame until pliable, making them easier to wrap without tearing.

  3. Assemble the Pepes: Place a piece of the prepped catfish on a sheet of banana leaf. Generously coat it with the blended spice mixture and top with slices of red and green chilies and tomato.

  4. Wrap and Secure: Fold the banana leaf over the fish to create a packet and secure it with toothpicks.

  5. Steam: Place the wrapped fish in a steamer and cook for about 10 minutes.

  6. Grill: After steaming, grill the packets for another 10 minutes to enhance the flavors.

  7. Serve: Your Pepes Patin is ready to be served! Enjoy the delightful flavors of this traditional dish. 😊
