做法
- 把泡发干辣椒、新鲜辣椒、红葱头、大蒜、南姜、姜黄、香茅、石栗和belacan搅成细酱。
- 把鱼在食物处理器中脉冲磨成粗酱——不是顺滑。质感是这道菜的一部分。
- 把鱼酱、香料酱、椰浆、青柠叶丝、米粉、鸡蛋、盐和糖混合。用勺单方向搅拌90秒至均匀混合略带弹性。
- 把蕉叶在火上过一下变可塑光亮。把蕉叶平铺。把2大勺鱼混合沿中央摊开。把长边折过包住馅料。两端用牙签固定。
- 重复做完所有otak-otak。应有16到20个包裹。
- 三种烹饪方式之一:在炭火上每面烤5分钟至叶子焦化、鱼凝固;或在竹蒸笼蒸12分钟;或220°C烤箱烤12分钟。带包裹温热上桌——食客在桌上打开。
Common questions
Can 马来烤鱼糕 be made ahead?

This recipe is suitable for most diets. If you have specific restrictions, the substitutions section in each ingredient note covers the most common swaps.
How hard is 马来烤鱼糕 to make at home?
马来烤鱼糕 sits at intermediate difficulty — total time about 50 minutes. The ingredients are not unusual but the timing requires attention.
Can 马来烤鱼糕 be scaled up or down?
This recipe is written for 6 servings. To scale, multiply each ingredient proportionally; the cooking times stay the same up to about double the volume. Beyond that, expect to cook in batches because of pan size and heat distribution.
文化背景
Otak-otak——字面'脑-脑'指质感——是南马来西亚的小吃和配菜,尤其柔佛麻坡。马来-新加坡版本(炭火烤、蕉叶、较大)与娘惹-马六甲版本(较小、有时香兰叶包、略甜)区别。印尼也有otak-otak,但白肉、不太辣。正宗马来版本一目了然:红橙内部、焦黑绿叶、复杂香料风格同时甜、咸、辣、柑橘。在路边摊车上卖,尤其麻坡-新加坡公路。
