There is no way one can cook Indonesian dishes without eventually encounter one or two pepes dishes. It is really easy to recognize a pepes dish, if it is savory, no rice, lots of spices and herbs, and then wrapped with banana leaves in individual portions before steaming (and sometimes grilling too), it is a pretty safe bet you are seeing one 🙂 And we cook all kind of pepes dishes too, from fish, to tofu, mushroom, and of course even chicken liver.

You will want to use banana leaves to wrap your pepes. I usually boil mine in a big pot of boiling water for 5 to 10 minutes so they become soft and easier to wrap. Banana leaves can always be substituted with aluminum foil, though it will never live up to a pepes made in banana leaves.
