Steps

  1. Blend the fish, prawns, peppers, coconut, sugar, soy sauce, salt and pepper to a fine purée.
  2. Form the mass into a roll and divide into 8 equal parts.
  3. Place the parts around the lemon grass (do not try to skewer – this is more difficult!).
  4. Fry in oil for 6-8 minutes.
  5. Place the onions, peppers, garlic, rice vinegar, rice wine, sesame oil, salt and pepper in a saucepan and heat for five minutes.
  6. Squeeze out the gelatin leaves, remove the saucepan from the stove and add the gelatin while stirring. Place in a bowl and cool in the fridge for 30-40 minutes before serving.
