Ohjeet

Make banana bowls and secure with toothpicks. Set aside. These are optional for bowls, see this link for video for how-to-make instructions or use individual heatproof serving bowls.

If making curry paste: Trim root end of lemon grass and cut only the white part into small pieces. In a food processor add the curry paste ingredients and puree until a paste forms. Add a tablespoon of water if needed.

In a food processor add 12 ounces of the fish, and pulse until broken down. Scoop into a bowl and add 3 tablespoons of curry paste, coconut milk, eggs, fish sauce, sugar and half the kaffir lime leaves. Mix until thoroughly combined.

To each banana bowl, or individual heatproof serving bowl, add 3 Thai basil leaves and then divide half of the fish amok mixture over basil. Top with reserved sliced fish piece in each bowl and then remaining amok mixture to cover.

Steam for 10 minutes. Remove lid and top each amok with 1 tablespoon of reserved coconut milk and remaining slivered kaffir lime leaves. Cover with lid and steam for another 10 minutes. Serve with red chiles on top and steamed rice.
