INSTRUCTIONS
Date: Fri, 10 May 1996 11:04:13 -0700 From: "Colonel I. F. K.
Philpott" <colonel@korat1.vu-korat.ac.th> haw mukh is a rarity : a
dish intended as an appetiser or snack. It is essentially a custard
made from curried steamed fish. A non curreid set of ingredients is
included as an "afterthought", though to avoid reptition I won't
repeat the method - I leave that to the experience and imagination of
the lovers of bland food. In Thailand this is steamed in little cups
made from banana leaves, pinned together with tooth picks, but you
could just as well use ramekin bowls. Mix all the ingredients but the
peanuts, julienned chilis, phak bung and fish in a food processor.
Line the bowls with the phak bung, then put the fish in the bowls.
Stir the peanuts and chilis into the sauce mixture and pour over the
fish. Leave a little expansion space at the top of the dish. Place the
filled bowls in a steamer, and steam for 15 to 20 minutes (until the
fish is cooked and the sauce has set into a custard like consistency).
To serve: Either serve the dishes 'as is' with the usual Thai table
condiments, or for a more formal occasion, whip some thick coconut
milk, and garnish each bowl with a couple of teaspoons of the whipped
coconut milk and a slivered red chili. CHILE-HEADS DIGEST V2 #316
