When you live outside Indonesia, you make do with whatever comes in handy. For example, this dish is normally wrapped and cooked in banana leaves, but I did not have them in my freezer for once, so I used aluminum foil instead 😛
Pepes is also most of the times steamed first, then grill on charcoal if you like, if not using a method of browning the banana leaves on hot pan. Today’s Pepes, I cooked them in oven straight 🙂

1 package of Alaskan pollock fillet (400 grams, High Liner, individually quick frozen), thawed
1/2 package of Munik’s Specially Roasted Fish Seasoning

- Dissolve the fish seasoning into the water, add a dash of Vegeta, and pour onto the fish.
