Instructions

  1. Using a knife, make a long incision along the back of the tilapia all through the stomach cavity to create a “pocket”. Set aside.
  2. In a bowl, combine red onion, tomato, ginger, and garlic. Season with (½ teaspoon) salt and mix using hands to combine.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Transfer to a serving dish. Serve with steaming hot rice.
