The fish parcels are quick to prepare and can be wrapped ahead of time and cooked when needed. Serve with hot rice, a green vegetable — such as steamed bok choy — and you’re ready to go. For those who can’t drag themselves away from the television, serve them in bowls so they’re easy to eat on your knees, or be a little more civilised and sit around the table.
