Instructions
- Using a knife, make a long incision along the back of the tilapia all through the stomach cavity to create a “pocket”. Set aside.
- In a bowl, combine red onion, tomato, ginger, and garlic. Season with (½ teaspoon) salt and mix using hands to combine.
- Stuff each fish with the filling then wrap with pechay leaves. You may need 2-3 leaves per piece depending on how large the leaves and fish are. Use the lemon grass to tie around the leaves to secure it in place.
- Arrange the wrapped tilapia in a wok or deep skillet in a single layer. Pour in the coconut milk. Add the chilis and season with salt. Cover and cook over medium-low heat for 15 minutes. Remove the cover and cook for another 5 minutes to reduce the liquid.
- Transfer to a serving dish. Serve with steaming hot rice.
