1 packet
Crispy Shallots
1 sachet
Coriander
1
Hapuku Fillet
(Contains: Fish; )
1
Baby Broccoli
2
Garlic
1 packet
Basmati Rice
1
Lemon
1
Fresh Chilli
1 packet
Sichuan Garlic Paste
(Contains: Sesame, Soy; )
1 packet
Pea Pods
1 drizzle
olive oil
20 g
butter
(Contains: Milk; )
1.5 cup
water (for the rice)
¼ tsp
salt
2 tsp
soy sauce
(Contains: Gluten, May contain traces of allergens, Soy; )
2 tbs
water (for the sauce)

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

• While the rice is cooking, cut broccoli (including
stalk!) into small florets.
• Trim and roughly chop pea pods.
• Slice lemon into wedges.

• Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat.
Cook broccoli and pea pods, tossing, until
tender, 5-6 minutes.
• Add the soy sauce, stir to coat, then transfer to a
medium bowl and cover to keep warm.
TIP: Add a dash of water to the pan to help speed up
the cooking process!

• Discard any liquid from hāpuku fillet packaging.
Slice fish in half crossways to get 1 piece per
person.
• Return the frying pan to medium-high heat with
a generous drizzle of olive oil. Season fish on
both sides with salt and pepper. When oil is hot,
cook fish in batches until just cooked through,
5-6 minutes each side.
TIP: White fish is cooked through when the centre
turns from translucent to white.
TIP: Add extra oil between batches if needed so the
fish doesn't stick to the pan.

• Remove pan from heat, then add Sichuan garlic
paste and the water (for the sauce), gently
turning fish to coat.

• Divide chilli-garlic rice between plates.
• Top with Sichuan-glazed hāpuku and soy
veggies. Spoon over excess glaze from the pan.
• Tear over coriander. Garnish with crispy
shallots. Serve with lemon wedges. Enjoy!
