Step 1

In a food processor, combine corn meal, 1/2 cup sesame seeds, salt and pepper and blend. Combine blend with remaining half cup of sesame seeds in a bowl and set aside. Trim any white fat off catfish filets. I also like to remove any darker flesh as to me it ca be a little fishy sometimes. Separate filets down the center by following the natural seam. Batter filets. Heat 1/8 inch of avocado oil in a skillet to 325-350 degrees. Fry fish, laying filets down and away from you to avoid splatter. Fry 3-4 minutes a side. Place on rack and put rack in a baking sheet and place in oven in warm. ( if you’re good at coordinating more than one thing then skip the oven part) prep veggies. Peel and finely chop the ginger. I like to slice the green onions lengthwise in 3 inch sections. Julianne the peppers. Slice mushrooms. Make sure to wash the bok choy well. Trim ends off the stalk end. Slice stalk ends and roughly chop the greens. In a large skillet or wok, heat the sesame oil, cook ginger for 1 minute then add veggies. Salt and pepper to taste. Turn a few times and remove. Follow instructions on package for sticky rice. Platter fish, rice and veggies. Squiggle siracha around edge. Garnish with sesame seed and green onion.
