So this recipe first appeared back in the very early days of my Thermomix independance, in my Thai Thai Again cooking classes, which have all but disappeared. I hardly do classes any more which is a bit sad, but just the state of things as they have evolved. I am completely nutty busy, and believe it or not, classes take a lot of time...but I digress. This recipe is all now grown up and also appears in my Cooking with Tenina cookbook, which if you don’t have you should probably get. They have been huge around the country and sold in places like Big W and David Jones,which is a bit of fun for me.
This recipe, seems a little weird in that it is literally a fish custard, but don’t say that to the kids and they will eat it anyway. VERY delicious. VERY simple. Bang it all in and blitz, steam and you are good to go. Enjoy!
