Cooking instructions

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

1

Add your basmati rice and cauliflower rice to a pot with a lid with 160ml [250ml] [300ml] cold water and bring to the boil over a high heat

Once boiling, reduce the heat to very low and cook, covered, for 10-12 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

While the rice is cooking, wash, then trim the base from your pak choi, then separate the individual leaves and discard the base

Trim your spring onions, then cut each spring onion into thirds

Peel and finely chop (or grate) your garlic

Step 2
3

Combine your soy sauce, hoisin sauce and honey to a bowl and give everything a good mix – this is your sticky sauce

Step 3
4

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

Once hot, add your fish fillet[s] and cook for an initial 3-4 min on one side

Step 4
5

Meanwhile, heat a separate large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick, with a matching lid) over medium heat with a drizzle of vegetable oil

Once hot, add the pak choi leaves, spring onion thirds and a small pinch of salt and cook, covered, for 3-4 min or until both have softened

Once softened, add the chopped garlic and your toasted sesame oil and cook for 1 min further – this is your sesame pak choi & spring onions

Step 5
6

After 3-4 min turn the fish fillet[s] and add the sticky sauce to the pan

Cook for a further 3-4 min or until the basa is cooked through and the sauce has thickened to a sticky consistency – this is your sticky Chinese-style fish

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

Step 6
7

Add your black sesame seeds to the basmati rice and fluff with a fork – this is your sesame rice

Step 7
8

Serve the sticky Chinese-style fish over the cauliflower rice and drizzle with any remaining sticky sauce

Serve the sesame pak choi & spring onions to the side

Enjoy!
