Preparation

In a mixing bowl, combine the minced pork, mushrooms, garlic, Asian shallots, sugar, fish sauce and pepper. Mix well then set aside.

Make two deep sharp incisions down both sides of the fish rib cage following the backbone, from the tail up towards the head. Cut where the backbone meets the head and where it meets the tail. Now carefully lift out the rib cage leaving a boneless pocket to stuff the fish.

Using your hands, stuff the pork mixture into the pocket then enclose it with a needle and thread or simply tie with kitchen string.

In a steamer, bring water to the boil and steam the fish for 30 minutes.

Remove the fish and dress with spring onion oil and garnish with coriander and crushed peanuts.

Dip rice paper in warm water and roll with some steamed fish, herbs, cucumber, coriander and dip into nuoc mam cham.
