Fish paste has its many ways to cook. Here I use it to make fish rolls, stir fried with asparagus. Asparagus can be bought in shopping mall or wet market. You soak asparagus in water for 15 minutes and cut to bite size. Discard the old stalk. Choose the young and fresh portion.The fish fillet can buy in wet market or chopping mall. You can make your own too. For this dish I bought in the wet market.
