SUPER EASY Otah (Otak Otak) 乌达 Singapore Hawker Street Food & Nyonya Recipe

Otah-Otah (or simply known as Otah or alternative spelling as otak-otak or 乌达 in Chinese) is a Nyonya (could be Malay too) dish commonly found in countries across Southeast Asia, especially in Singapore, Indonesia and Malaysia. This spicy grilled fish cake is a mix of ground fish meat and spices. Traditionally served fresh, wrapped inside a banana leaf or coconut leaf, otah can be eaten on its own as a snack or with rice as part of a meal.

See the ingredient list below for your easy reference.
