- 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.
The food processor we used in the video is under the brand Magimix. If you like to buy them, you can go to any of the major departmental stores in Singapore such as Isetan, Robinsons, Takashimaya, BHG, OG, Metro or Tangs. This brand is also available in most major departmental stores in Malaysia.

Hi Roland I tried your recipe and it was delicious! But my otah turned out a little too wet. What would your recommend to make it firmer and drier? I steamed the batter in a saladmaster pan. Perhaps if I baked it in the oven? Would appreciate any advice from you thank you
Great recipe, made 10 successfully. I added prawns too, so the total weight is about 420g. Worked well, and the otah is firm and texture is good. Thank you !
Glad that this recipe worked for you. Thank you so much for using our recipe, Peline 🤓🤓
Im tried muar otak otak that got add on 4-5 tiny sea prawn without blended it .. also great taste because additional whole tiny prawn teksture.. if blended prawn together maybe fish and prawn taste gone...
I love so much, Singapore otak otak 😘😘😘😘

Thanks so much for the recipe. I finally got to taste some otak otak after so many years living in Canada, where it's hard to get otak otak.
My boss bought a very lot of otah...Frozen otah from Malaysia..then pack with old newsp....bring home to Singapore...im very2 like otah....then maybe i'll make it my self....
Hope you’ll like this recipe 🤓
Hi, thank you for generously sharing your cooking skill with the world! By the way is there a non-spicy version?
If you want to taste the fish meat, i suggest putting half in the otak paste when blending and the other half just stir into the paste. This is a nonya otak2 recipe
Awesome tip. Thank you so much, bro!
Hi thanks for your video.
Do we need to roast belacan?
from bandung indonesia, had tested this yummy recipe today.. thnx a lot
An excellent complete recipe! Thanks for showing the entire process. Will definitely give this recipe a try!
Thank you so much for your kind words, Kathy. Let us know how this turned out for you. Happy cooking :)
Thanks for your recep sir
Very good and funny videos bring a great sense of entertainment!
Otak otak is my favourite
Thanks
Thanks for sharing. I don't live in Singapore and I cannot get banana leaves. Can I use foil instead ?
Its very,,,nice,,im like it👌👌👌
Brilliant. Never knew we could make this ourselves without charcoal stove. Btw is it possible to substitute coconut milk with something else to make it healthier? Honestly I'm surprised that other than the coconut milk, otak is actually pretty healthy.
.
Hi Ryan. You can try substituting coconut milk with evaporated milk 👍🏻👍🏻 hope it’ll turn out great for you. Happy cooking!
Looks good
Hi, may I know how do I store it? Do I cook and keep in refrigerator ? Planning to bbq it the next day.
Really nice!! Thanks for sharing!!
It taste like Indonesia(Balinese satay) otak otak, if I want to make it taste like Muar otak, may I know what should I change it from the recipe?
Thanks for sharing!!
Wow Looks so delicious yummy

Nice. Let us know how this turned out for you. Happy cooking!
Awesome ! But is it possible to spread on Ngoh Hiang sheet n pan fried ? Just liked what you did on shrimps paste ( Din Tai Fong style. ) Thanks
That's a wonderful idea, Lester. Solid
I remember my mom used to line the tray with daun kaduk before putting in the fish paste and also cover the top with daun kaduk before steaming.
Yum! Your mom sounds like a wonderful cook 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Have a great weekend, Beryl!
HI chef, I tried out this recipe twice and turned out very well! Thank you! I made the paste in advance, fried it and kept in the freezer till the day I need it, that way I won t be too busy preparing so many things at one go!
Thank you so much Geok Lian for using our recipe. Yay! Glad to know you enjoyed it. Also thanks so much for sharing your system to organise your cooking. Good info!
@@spicenpans hi do you think I can freeze the paste raw?
Can this blended ingredients be made in advance and kept in before being wrapped in e banana leaf?
I cooked your recipe my kids was happy and enjoy the Crispy Chicken with butter milk, Thank you so much
Thank you so much Leonila for letting us know that you and your children enjoyed our recipes. This make us really happy 🤓🤓🤓
Wow yummy
Mmmmmm... Those otah taste so good but i really hate spicy food. That taste so delicious and very very spicy otah. Great dish. See u next time.
Haha thanks bro 🙏🙏🙏
@@spicenpans welcome
Thank your otakX2 recipe!
Thank you for the recipe 👍🏻 looks amazing
Any white meat fish can do, dear brother? and it is not steamed but grilled?
Hi Jessica sis. One of our friends on TH-cam shared that he used catfish to blend and then add batang fish to the paste so that the fish bits can be tasted. Yes you’re right. I’m general, any white meat fish will do - those with lesser bones will be much easier to handle. 👍🏻👍🏻
Hi. Did you broil the otah ie. Just using heat from the top or bake them ie. Even heat throughout?
Hi Hui Cheok, we used the top and bottom heat to bake it. Yes even heat distribution throughout.
Thank you i love it
Nice food
Hi, how should i do it if i prefer to have chunky bites of fish when i eat the otah?
Wow supper
Hi, if we decide to steam it, approx how long would be needed (for the amount you were using)?
Hi Cheng Jun. So sorry for our late reply. It depends on how big chunk your otah is. You can try 15 mins first then check to see the done-ness then gauge how long more you need by estimation. Hope this helps.
Do I need to cook it before storing them in the freezer? How long can I keep them in the freezer?
Hihi. Yes please cook them first before freezing them. You can freeze them for one or two months - no problem. Happy cooking!
Alright, thank u so much.
Super Chef
Thank you so much Lucy!!
Can I omit the belacan or use salted shrimp paste instead?
I love it👍👍👍👍
Thanks so much Kim Yeng 🙏🙏🙏
How long can they be stored in the fridge?
Hi, the curry powder must use only for fish curry or ok to use any type? I only have chicken curry powder in my fridge.
Oh sorry.. realize that u have mention in e video. Missed that out.
Hi, may I know if you used the grill oven mode for this?
Hi, may I know what is the brand of your food processor? Thank you!
Can we use staple instead of toothpicks?
Another yummy food ... tks
Thank you so much, Linza 🙏🙏
May I know this ingredients is it rendang paste? Can I use rendang paste to raw fish?
Awesome chef...
Thanks so much Bro
Yum... 👍😊
Thank you so much
looks very delicious
🙏🙏 thank you so much.
Hi, what can I use if i dont have a food processor?
Uncle, can use egg yolk?
Can I use all-purpose flour to substitute rice flour?
Senang betul resepi nih😱😱😱😱😱
Terima kasih.
How do u managed to de-fillet the fish so nicely? I have tried but don't get such nice fillet. Is always in a mess:) Btw, is the final result salty cause I notice u also add salt in addition to belacan which is generally very very salty.
ask the fish monger to fillet it for you =)
Hi D.P. Yes. Like what Fabian said, you can ask your fishmonger to help fillet for you but here’s how Roland did it at home. th-cam.com/video/gxCB3qaFBu4/w-d-xo.html
Can i steam it instead of bake it
Can I use canned tuna?

otak-otak is come from Muar Johor Malaysia, not Singapore. Thanks
Can u use dory fish?
Wow!!! Looks so good!!! Yummy!
Thanks so much, Vonne. Happy cooking!
l
Great
Thank you very much 🙏🙏
You should’ve join the master Chef Singapore.
haha. no lah, cannot. I'm not that level yet :) Thanks, Jai_Harry.
I prefer to see pieces of fish meat in my otah, the ingredients that I use is more or less similar.I use cheaper fish meat i.e. the Vietnamese cat fish fillets for the blend and the more expensive batang pieces mixed with the paste before grilling :)
Doesn't vietnamese cat fish have a very bad mud taste? How do you get rid of it?
If frozen fillets, thaw then soak in buttermilk or DIY buttermilk ..1 cup milk with 1 tbs white vinegar ..soak thawed fillets for 15 to 30 mins. do give it a try
@@tctana thanks for the tip. :)
Awesome. Great sharing, Andrew 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
can I omit out the curry powder??
Can i use tenggiri?
Is this same processor where u shred carrots and daikon ?
Hi Ji-Eun. Yes you’re right. The food processor is from Magimix
A request please. Is there a possibility of show how to make fish paste from scratch? Thank you.
Hi Mary. Thank you so much for watching our video. We don’t have a video specially to make fish paste but we have one where we made fishballs. You can use the same recipe to make your own fish paste - just don’t have to shape it in balls. Here’s the video th-cam.com/video/qsWsa_ngWsU/w-d-xo.html
Happy cooking!
Thanks. I’ve now viewed the “fish ball” video. Question: is wheat flour different from plain flour?
Another request please.....chee cheong fun? Many thanks again.
Hi Mary. We found a site that nicely explained the difference between wheat flour and plain flour. www.google.com.sg/amp/s/spoonuniversity.com/lifestyle/whole-wheat-and-white-flour-the-difference-between-may-surprise-you/amp
Thanks for the CCF request. We also hope to make that one day.
If I want to make a non-spicy otah, what are the ingredients?
Hi Audrey, you can omit red chilli and reduce the amount of red chilli used but actually this recipe is not very spicy.
What fish you used...?
You had missed out an important ingredient for nonya otak otak is CANDLENUT. You can also coarsely chop the fish separately from the paste and add the fish when placing on the banana leaf. This way you can get to taste the fishmeat better.
Nice! But this recipe is still good without candlenut. The purpose of adding candlenut is to add some thickness to the mixture. This job is also fulfilled by coconut milk which can help to add a very flavourful aroma to this recipe. Happy cooking!
Spice N' Pans You are right. Candlenut if used can omit both the flour. As the latter tends to make the otak meat tougher than the former
Power bro
Well done!
Thanks🙏🙏🙏
Thank you so much Henry.
May i ask how long u stir the ingredient， after i stir i still can taste inside otak got granule of chilly .
Hihi. We stir fried the chilli for about 30 mins. If you have bits of chilli, maybe you wanna blend the paste longer to break it up more. Hope this helps.
