  1. For the kroeung paste: Use a large pestle and mortar or food processor to pound or process all of the ingredients to a smooth paste.

  2. For the amok paste: Combine all the amok paste ingredients with two 2 tablespoons of the kroeung paste in a mixing bowl with a pinch of sea salt and mix well.

  3. For the fish: Bring water to a rapid boil in a steamer, wok or large saucepan that will hold a steamer basket. Now stir in the coconut cream and eggs in to the amok paste until well combined. Fold all the seafood through. Line two or three 300 ml heatproof moulds with the spinach leaves. Using a slotted spoon, and reserving the spicy seafood liquid, scoop the seafood into the moulds, over the leaves. Don’t fold the leaves over the seafood. Transfer the moulds to a steamer basket or bamboo steamer and set over the pan of boiling water. Pour the spicy seafood liquid into the moulds, reserving about 4 tablespoons. Steam over high heat for 15 minutes.

  4. After this time, the mixture will have risen a little in the moulds, so use a fork to pierce a hole in each amok to deflate it slightly. Drizzle the reserved spicy seafood liquid over each amok and steam for a further 30 minutes, or until the mixture is set and has a light, souffle-type texture.

  5. To finish, drizzle a tablespoon of coconut cream over each amok and garnish with the lime leaves. Serve in the moulds. Serve with the rice.
