Cuisine: Asian
Ingredients: 1 tbsp groundnut oil; 1-inch piece ginger, minced; 1 red chilli, finely chopped; 1 shallot, thinly sliced; 1 (13.5 oz) can coconut milk; 1 cup chicken broth; 1 lime, zested and juiced; salt, to taste; freshly ground black pepper, to taste; 4 (6 oz) cod fillets; 4 heads pak choi (bok choy), halved; 2 tbsp soy sauce; 2 spring onions, sliced; 1 tsp chilli oil, for garnish; cooked rice, for serving; 1 tbsp crispy fried onions, for garnish; 1 tsp black sesame seeds, for garnish; fresh cilantro, for garnish

1

Heat groundnut oil in a large pot or high-sided pan over medium heat.

2

Add the minced ginger, chopped red chilli, and sliced shallot. Sauté for a minute until fragrant.

3

Pour in the coconut milk and chicken broth. Add the lime zest and squeeze in the lime juice.

4

Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Stir to combine and bring to a gentle simmer.

5

Gently place the cod fillets into the simmering broth. Cover the pot and let the cod poach for 8-10 minutes, or until cooked through and flaky.

6

While the cod is poaching, prepare the pak choi. Halve them lengthwise and place in a tray. Drizzle with soy sauce.

7

Heat a separate pan and sear the pak choi on both sides until tender and slightly charred. Add any remaining soy sauce from the tray to the pan to deglaze.

8

Once the cod is cooked, sprinkle with sliced spring onions and drizzle with chilli oil.

9

To serve, place a portion of cooked rice in a bowl. Add a cod fillet and ladle the coconut broth over it.

10

Garnish with the seared pak choi, crispy fried onions, more spring onions, black sesame seeds, and fresh cilantro.
