Two MASSIVE Fish! Wrapped in a BANANA LEAF!! *Must try recipe!!!*

normally this is not my job but there comes a time in every man's life when he

must

learn to cook for himself or he should starve and now is not the time but I don't know I just want to do it. Let's make it shallower. What is this? This is like a long thin one of what I just cut. It's not right how onions are formed. It's like layer upon layer. just nature is wild I'm just going to do it like this one two three four five and six I'm going to cut right here in the middle once right there like this and now everyone should cut themselves nice just like that look at that look hey man learn something from me today um, look at that, yeah, honey, okay, cool, in my opinion, the way to cook onions, first let's put some oil in here, that's avocado oil, it's going to heat up right there and it takes a long time to Let the onions cook, so there are my onions, I'm going to put them here, I'm just going to let them cook, I want them to brown a little after they brown, so I'm going to add the garlic, the ginger and infuse it with a little salt and pepper, add some scallions afterwards, on top of the

fish

, hey man, we're cooking, we're cooking, okay, mincing that garlic, make one more, how are these guys doing? browning a little do you want to prepare a

leaf

I'll prepare a

leaf

thank you preparing the ginger so it's nice and fine I think this one will do it's worth the taste you know okay the onions look good right there baby oh that It smells Great, yes, now let's add the garlic, let it cook.

I don't think enough people cook onions long enough, so that's what I'm doing here. I'm just cooking until the end. I'm going to add the rest of the stuff, ginger and lemongrass, two fillets per wrap, salt and pepper right here, we're also going to give it a little flavor now for the

fish

, I think I'll do the same, just salt and pepper a little on each side, simply preparing the fish. bite-sized pieces so that most of the fish has more surface area and the fish can be coated with this oil. Yes, this is practically ready and we are going to pour this over the fish.

Here read the sheets on what you have. They do, so how does this work? the leaves, this was David's idea, I'm just my little twist, I was cooking everything in the pan trying to infuse this oil with the flavor, so basically we're going to steam the fish, oh, before you say Sorry, All I'm saying is that a lot of people probably don't even know

banana

leaves exist, like most people, if they're going to cook fish like this, they'll cook it in aluminum foil and we've all heard that people can get it. Alzheimer's or whatever. Have you heard about cooking in aluminum foil, yes, yes, I've heard you know that, so who knows if it's true, if it's true, if it's not true, why take the risk?

You know there is another one. option, you could cook with a

banana

leaf basically the same thing anyway, okay, sorry to cut you off, yes, I'm trying to imitate a northern Thai dish that infuses ginger, lemongrass and garlic, but no, we do not do it. unfortunately we have a mortar and stuff like that to grind it into a proper ball, so we are doing fine, so what do we have to do? Just put the fish in one. Yes, we have the bite size cubes. in the middle a small mound right there we have the fish here double

wrapped

in a banana leaf this is ready to use the chutney is ready to use that might burn your hand yeah let's let it cool for a second let's get the another banana leaf ready, let's put some fish in here while it cools and this is my little special seasoning from Trader Joe's friend, that's the traditional dumpling that I love and adore so much that I was introduced to in Bali and what a pretty color, yeah, here we go oh yeah I hope this doesn't burn me but some avocado oil onion ginger scallions third we don't need third degree burns I trust this banana leaf fold it on top like this and pass the time like a square, okay, oh yeah, look at that and then just go through perfect, perfect, oh perfect, and David soaked these skewers in water overnight, you know, so they don't burn.

Less chance of burning. Perfect, friend, yes, yes, I think. I still think this is going to be great, I think with the oil too, yeah, what's up? Can we mix it up a little? Okay, look at that, oh yeah, I think this one is sealed even better, without any holes, and so on. the flame comes on, okay brother, you want, you want to open it, yeah, let's do it, the reveal didn't really even cook that long because the flame was so hot, but look at that oil, look at those juices, you can see how it came out.

But I bet it's delicious dude, look at that, let's see what that chili sauce looks like here I have a big smile on my face right now oh look at that, that's perfect, yeah, yeah, you gotta give me a pizza, oh dude, damn I miss the chili is good bro well let's do this man good morning today good morning my friend yeah good morning okay oh it's about to get even better oh man there Same thing, the only thing missing is some avocado, you probably don't even need it, although, oh boy, it's okay. man, yeah, cheers, cheers, my friend, that lemongrass, are you kidding me?

If you had this with some bread, I bet sourdough bread would go well with this mixture on top with the juices, sticky rice, yeah, it absorbs all this oil exactly or a little bit of rice exactly, but look. Plus it's perfectly cooked, the onions were cooked first, oh that lemongrass is so good, yes it adds a nice fresh bite, yes good citrus, well I'm going salmon fishing tomorrow trying to get the last one of the year .
