Cooking Steps

Cook the rice
1

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

Get prepped
2

• Meanwhile, roughly chop Asian greens 
(see ingredients). Thinly slice carrot into 
half-moons.
• Discard any liquid from John dory fillets 
packaging. Slice fish in half crossways to get  
1 piece per person.
• In a shallow bowl, combine the plain flour and 
sweet soy seasoning. In a second shallow bowl, 
whisk the egg. In a third shallow bowl, place 
panko breadcrumbs and sesame seeds.
• Coat fish first in the flour, followed by the  
egg and finally the breadcrumbs. Set aside  
on a plate. 

Start the curry
3

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil 
over medium-high heat. Cook carrot, until 
tender, 4-5 minutes.
• Add remaining garlic and Asian greens and 
cook until fragrant, 1 minute. 

Finish the curry
4

• Reduce heat to medium, stir in curry powder, 
katsu paste, coconut milk, the brown sugar, 
soy sauce and a splash of water and cook, until 
combined, 1-2 minutes. Season to taste. 

Cook the fish
5

• Meanwhile, heat a medium frying pan over 
medium-high heat with enough olive oil to coat 
the base.
• When oil is hot, cook crumbed fish until golden 
and cooked through, 3-5 minutes each side. 
Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and season 
with salt.

Finish & serve
6

• Slice fish in half.
• Divide garlic rice between bowls. Top with 
coconut katsu curry and sesame-crumbed  
John dory to serve. Enjoy!
