Instructions

1

Pour the water for the rice (see ingredients for amount) into a large saucepan. Add the stock pot, cover with a lid, bring to the boil on medium heat. Meanwhile, roughly chop the coriander (stalks and all) then halve the baby bok choy lengthways through the root. Trim the spring onions and finely slice.

2

Add the rice, mangetout and half the coriander to the boiling stock, stir and bring to the boil. Cover with a lid, reduce the heat and simmer for 10 mins. When the rice has cooked for 10 mins, remove from the heat and leave for another 10 minutes off the heat. The rice and mangetout will finish cooking in their own steam.

3

Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium high heat. Lay in the bok choy cut side down. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper and fry until golden brown, 2-3 mins (don't turn them). When browned add a splash of water, cover with a lid or some tin foil, and steam fry until the bok choy is softened, 1-2 mins. Transfer to a plate, cover with foil and leave to the side.

4

Wipe out your pan with some kitchen roll and pop back on medium high heat with a glug of oil. Season the cod with a pinch of salt and pepper on each side. Once the oil is hot, lay the fish in your pan skin side down and fry until golden brown, 3-4 mins. Tip: Don't move the fish during this time! Once golden, turn and cook for 2-3 mins on the other side. IMPORTANT: The fish is cooked when opaque in the middle.

5

While the fish is cooking, mix the sweet chilli sauce, soy sauce, honey and water (see ingredients for amount) together in a bowl. Squeeze in half the lime juice and stir together. Once the fish is almost cooked, pour in the soy mixture, turn the heat to low and simmer until sticky, 2 mins.

6

Stir the coriander leaves and half the spring onion into the rice. Spoon the rice into bowls with the bok choy on top and then the cod. Spoon the sauce over and sprinkle over the remaining spring onions. Enjoy!
