Actually if not comfortable with canola oil, sunflower or corn oil are also quite versatile. I use sunflower oil sometimes also.

Eh, I just remembered. Buds, for the canola oil that you have, try to finish within 6 months. Oil tend to oxidise under heat and light and oxygen. So once opened, store in cool dry place in the dark, and away from the stove.

The light, is it referring to sunlight? Becos in supermarket, the bottles of oil are on the shelves exposed to the electrical lights.

Thanks for sharing the sutchi fillet recipe , buds.

I went down to giant and got 2 packs of the frozen sutchi for 4+ nia. It s on offer. N bought pack of maizena corn flour. Can't wait to try out the reipe

Wow, sahm tan, I love otah too, but hrd it s a lot of work.

Think got to soften the banana leaves in hot water before wrapping the filling.

I will usually wash and blanch it with hot water to soften it.

But my maid taught me a new method. Wash, towel dry and leave them out in the sun. That will soften the leaves as well. It is a better method to retain the fragrance of the leaves as when blanching in hot water, we sometimes overdo it and the leaves get slightly cooked thus losing some of its fragrance.

Otah? I just buy new moon, last saw offer at finest @$ 3.20. Taste good, plenty of chunky mackerel meat.

Hmmmmmm, not too bad lah, just need to blend a couple of ingredients.......the other time I tried, I was defeated by the banana leaf and the cooking part.

But today I was cooking and an idea struck me.........I will cook the otah over the stove like BBQ style........just have to make sure I don't burn the banana leaves LOL

There's a stall that sells banana leaves. Hubby will comment every so often let's make otah whenever we passed by it, so thinking of trying again after my last failed attempt heehee
