Ingredients

  • 2 pieces tilapia cleaned and scales removed
  • 4 pieces bok choy or pechay leaves
  • 4 cloves garlic chopped
  • 1 piece onion diced
  • 2 pieces tomato diced
  • 1 thumb ginger chopped
  • 3 pieces long green chili
  • 1 1/2 cups coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • In a bowl, combine garlic, onion, tomatoes, and ginger then mix.
  • Stuff the tilapia with the garlic, onion, and ginger mixture.
  • Wrap the bok choy around the tilapia. I use 2 bok choy leaves to ensure that the entire fish is wrapped.
  • Secure the bok choy by tying a kitchen twine around the tilapia. (this step is optional)
  • Arrange the wrapped tilapia in a wide cooking pan then pour-in coconut milk and water. Sprinkle salt, cover, and turn on heat.
  • Cook the fish in medium heat for 20 minutes.
  • Turn off heat. Remove the cooking twine and transfer the fish to a serving plate.
  • Serve hot. Share and enjoy!
