To prepare the marinade: Take a 4 inch pan and add the pieces of  
opakapaka with fish sauce, soy sauce, peanut oil and toss very well. Do not  
add any salt.  
To prepare filling: In a pan, heat up the peanut oil, then add the  
onions and cook for a few minutes. Add garlic, shiitake mushrooms, chili  
sauce, seasonings and cook for 5 minutes. When done, add cilantro and  
green onions. Set aside.  
Take two ti leaves and make a cross; cut one stem off. Take a spoon  
of the filling and place it in the center of the ti leaves. Add a piece of fish  
and some seaweed on top of the filling and close the ti leaves and tie with the  
remaining stems. Bake or steam ‘opakapaka for 10–15 minutes. Present the ti  
leaf whole to the guest.
