Cooking Steps

COOK THE GARLIC RICE
1

Finely chop the garlic (or use a garlic press). In a medium saucepan, melt the butter with a dash of olive oil over a medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add the jasmine rice, water and salt (for the rice) and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to low and cover with a lid. Cook for 12 minutes, then remove from the heat and keep covered until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed, 10-15 minutes. TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don't peek!

GET PREPPED
2

While the rice is cooking, finely grate the ginger. Thinly slice the carrot (unpeeled) into half-moons. Trim the green beans, then slice in half. Very thinly slice the makrut lime leaves. TIP: The leaves are fibrous be sure to cut them finely. Zest the lime (see ingredients list) to get a generous pinch, then slice into wedges. Heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, add the shredded coconut. Toast, tossing, until golden, 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl. When the coconut has cooled, stir through the lime zest and a pinch of salt and pepper.

COOK THE VEGGIES
3

Return the frying pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Add the carrot and green beans and cook, tossing, until tender, 5-6 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, then transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm. While the veggies are cooking, combine the salt (for the fish) and plain flour on a plate and season with pepper.

COOK THE FISH
4

Add the white fish fillets to the flour mixture and turn to coat. Return the frying pan to a medium-high heat with a good drizzle of olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the fish and cook until golden and just cooked through, 2-3 minutes on each side (depending on thickness). Transfer to the plate with the veggies. TIP: The fish is cooked through when it turns from translucent to white.

MAKE THE SAUCE
5

Heat a small saucepan over a medium-high heat. Add the coconut milk, ginger, makrut lime leaves, brown sugar and soy sauce. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is heated through and fragrant, 4-5 minutes.

SERVE UP
6

Divide the garlic rice and veggies between bowls. Top with the fish and spoon over the makrut lime coconut sauce. Squeeze over the lime and garnish with the zesty toasted coconut.
