Cooking instructions
Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.
Add your white long grain rice to a pot with a lid with 225ml [300ml] [450ml] cold water, your ground coriander and a generous pinch of salt 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

Add your cornflour, ground smoked paprika and a generous pinch of salt and pepper to a plate and mix it all together
Pat your basa fillet[s] dry with kitchen paper
Press the basa firmly into the seasoned flour, coating evenly on both sides – this is your coated basa

Wash your lettuce, then pat dry with kitchen paper and shred finely
Peel and grate your garlic
Drain your sweetcorn

Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a very generous drizzle of vegetable oil over a medium-high heat
Once hot, add the coated basa and cook for 3-4 min on each side or until cooked through – this is your crispy basa
Tip: Your fish is cooked through once it turns opaque and flakes easily

Meanwhile, add 10g [15g] [20g] butter to a microwave-safe jug with your sriracha (can't handle the heat? Go easy!), half your cider vinegar (you'll use the rest later!) and a pinch of salt and sugar – this is your buffalo sauce mix
Put the buffalo sauce mix in the microwave for 1 min or until the butter has melted, then mix until fully combined
Add 1/2 tsp [3/4 tsp] [1 tsp] cold water and stir it all together – this is your buffalo sauce

Add your mayo to a small bowl with the grated garlic, remaining cider vinegar, dried oregano, 1 tsp [1 1/2 tsp] [2 tsp] cold water and a generous pinch of pepper
Give everything a good mix up – this is your ranch-style mayo

Add the drained sweetcorn to the cooked rice with a generous pinch of salt and pepper
Mix it all together – this is your spiced corn rice

Serve the crispy basa over the spiced corn rice with the shredded lettuce to the side
Add a small drizzle of olive oil to the shredded lettuce
Top with the buffalo sauce and ranch-style mayo and garnish with your crispy onions – this is your spicy buffalo basa rice bowl
Enjoy!
