Instructions

Step 1

Rinse one cup of red rice, then add to a pot with 2 cups water and bring to boil. Let simmer until all the water has been absorbed.

Step 2

In the meantime, cut the carrots into half moons. Halve then snow peas. Chop the spring onions. Finely slice the green chilli.

Step 3

Heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan on medium-high heat. Add the carrots and snow peas and cook for about 5 minutes. Add the spinach, spring onions and green chilli and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Transfer to a bowl and keep warm.

Step 4

Return the pan to high heat and cook the fish until browned on each side and cooked through.

Step 5

Remove the fish from the pan and keep warm.

Step 6

To the frying pan, add the sesame oil and heat on medium heat. Halve the lemon grass lengthwise and crush it to bring the juices out. Add to the frying pan.

Step 7

Crush the garlic. Grate the ginger. Add both to the frying pan and cook until fragrant. 2-3 minutes.

Step 8

Zest the lime and squeeze the juice and add both to the sauce.

Step 9

Finally, add the coconut amino acids, or alternatively use a low sodium soy sauce.

Step 10

Leave to simmer for a couple of minutes.

Step 11

Arrange the rice, vegetables and fish on a plate and pour some of the sauce over everything. Serve and enjoy!
