You can replace the shrimp with tofu , or fish to make a good delicious yet quite simple meal . If you don&#8217;t have banana leaves on hand , not to worry , you can always use foil , in my opinion , foil is a lot better than banana leaves to work with , although .. banana leaves is the one that they use to wrap this and then steam and grill them . It is best served with white jasmine rice . Delicious !!<\/p>\n<p>Pepes udang is wrapped in banana leaves or like i said you can always use foil too . This reminds me of some american french dish where you wrap the fish with a wax \/ parchment paper , Fish en Pappilote . But instead of parchment , we wrapped it with banana leaves , the traditional way \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>Make sure that you have either a big size of mortar pestle or food processor . I don&#8217;t own pestle , so my food processor has been working pretty hard lately to make all these spices into a very smooth paste , which is usually a must in Indonesian dish .<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.oliviaskitchen.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/pepes-udang.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2725\" alt=\"pepes udang\" src=\"http:\/\/www.oliviaskitchen.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/pepes-udang-300x199.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.oliviaskitchen.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/pepes-udang-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.oliviaskitchen.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/pepes-udang.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Direction :\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>15 small \/ medium shallots<\/p>\n<p>8 garlic<\/p>\n<p>bunch of bird eye chili pepper , esp. if you like it very spicy<\/p>\n<p>indonesian large pepper , not bell pepper , but if you can&#8217;t find , you can use hot korean red pepper , or bell pepper too<\/p>\n<p>1 inch of ginger<\/p>\n<p>1 inch of turmeric<\/p>\n<p>2 stalks of lemon grass<\/p>\n<p>2 lbs of shrimp , wash and clean<\/p>\n<p>banana leaves or foil for wrapping<\/p>\n<p>toothpick to secure the package<\/p>\n<p>1.
