Cooking instructions

Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.

1

Add your white long grain rice to a pot with a lid with a pinch of salt and 225ml [300ml] [450ml] cold water and bring to the boil over a high heat

Once boiling, reduce the heat to very low and cook, covered, for 12-15 min or until all the water has absorbed and the rice is cooked

Once done, remove from the heat and set aside (lid on) to steam until serving

Step 1
2

Chop your fish fillet[s] into large, bite-sized pieces

Step 2
3

Add the chopped fish to a bowl with half your cornflour and half your gluten free soy sauce (save the rest for later!)

Give everything a good mix up so the fish is fully coated

Add the remaining cornflour to a separate bowl

Add the coated fish to the bowl with the remaining cornflour and give everything a good mix up until all the cod is coated

Step 3
4

Slice your red chilli[es] finely

Trim, then slice your spring onion[s]

Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a very generous drizzle of vegetable oil over a high heat

Step 4
5

Once the pan is very hot, add the coated fish with a good grind of pepper and cook for 4-5 min on each side until golden and crispy and cooked through

Tip: Your fish is cooked once it turns opaque and flakes easily

Once cooked through, add the sliced spring onion, sliced chilli (can't handle the heat? Go easy!) and your ginger and garlic paste and cook for 1-2 min further or until fragrant – this is your crispy salt & pepper fish

Step 5
6

While the fish is cooking, wash your lettuce, remove the outer leaves and set aside, then shred the inner core

Peel your carrot[s], then continue to peel lengths until you end up with a pile of carrot ribbons

Cut your cucumber in half lengthways, then slice finely

Step 6
7

Add your rice vinegar and red chilli relish to a bowl with a drizzle of olive oil and the remaining gluten free soy sauce – this is your sweet chilli dressing

Add the cooked rice, sliced cucumber, carrot ribbons and lettuce to a large bowl with the sweet chilli dressing

Give everything a good mix up – this is your sweet chilli rice salad

Step 7
8

Serve the crispy salt & pepper fish over the sweet chilli rice salad

Enjoy!
