Sweet Chilli Basa With Sesame Pak Choi And Ginger Rice

Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ gas 7

Peel (scrape the skin off with a teaspoon) and finely chop (or grate) your ginger

Add your white long grain rice, chopped ginger, a pinch of salt and 225ml [300ml] [450ml] cold water to a pot with a lid 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 – this is your ginger rice

While the rice is cooking, combine your red chilli relish, chipotle paste (can't handle the heat? Go easy!) and 1 tbsp [1 1/2 tbsp] [2 tbsp] olive oil in a bowl – this is your sweet chilli sauce

Pat your basa fillet[s] dry with kitchen paper and add to a tin foil-lined baking tray (or two!)

Season with a pinch of salt and spread the sweet chilli sauce evenly over

Put the tray[s] in the oven for 12-15 min or until the fish is cooked through – this is your sweet chilli basa

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

While the fish is in the oven, peel and finely slice (don't chop!) your garlic

Wash your pak choi, then pat it dry with kitchen paper and cut in half, separating the white bases and green tops

Boil half a kettle

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

Once hot, add the pak choi white bases and sliced garlic and cook for 1-2 min or until the garlic has browned slightly

Add 50ml [75ml] [100ml] boiled water to the pan and cook, covered, for a further 2-3 min

While the pak choi is cooking, trim, then slice your spring onion[s] finely

Add the pak choi green tops and soy sauce to the pan and cook for 2-3 min further or until the pak choi greens have wilted

Sprinkle your toasted sesame seeds over the wilted pak choi – this is your sesame pak choi
