  1. Rinse the fish under cold running water and pat dry with kitchen paper. Using a sharp knife, slash the skin of the fish a few times on both sides. Place on a banana leaf.

  2. Combine the rice wine, chillies, garlic, ginger, lemon grass, spring onions, fish sauce and lime. Spread this mixture over the fish.

  3. Place a small upturned plate or rack in the bottom of a wok and pour in 100ml of boiling water. Lift the banana leaf, together with the fish and place onto the plate or rack.

  4. Cover with a lid and steam for 10 to 15 minutes, until the fish is tender.

  5. Place all the chilli sauce ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth; you may need to add a little cold water to bring to a sauce-like consistency.

  6. Serve the fish hot, on the banana leaf, with the sweet chilli sauce spooned over the top.
