Ingredients

1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
100g basmati rice
1 tbsp cornflour
1 courgette
1 egg
1 garlic clove
15g ginger
60g panko breadcrumbs
1 red pepper
15ml soy sauce
3 spring onions
1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
2 x unsmoked basa fillets (200g)

Method

Deseed the red pepper (scrape the seeds and pith out with a teaspoon) and cut into thin strips (as finely as you can!)
Top, tail and chop the courgette into matchsticks
Peel and finely chop (or grate) the garlic
Peel (scrape the skin off with a teaspoon) and finely chop (or grate) the ginger
Add the basmati rice and 250ml cold water to a pot with a lid and bring to the boil over a high heat
Once boiling, reduce the heat to very low and cook, covered, for 10-15 min or until all the water has absorbed and the rice is cooked
Once cooked, remove from the heat and keep covered until serving
Add 2-3 handfuls of flour to a plate and mix in a generous pinch of salt and pepper
Crack the egg into a shallow bowl and beat with a fork
Add the panko breadcrumbs to another plate
Coat the basa fillets in the flour, tap off the excess, then add it into the beaten egg and finally press it into the breadcrumbs firmly to evenly coat all over
Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a matching lid with a drizzle of vegetable oil over a medium-high heat
Once hot, add the chopped pepper, courgette, garlic and ginger with a pinch of salt and cook for 4-5 min or until softened
Meanwhile, heat a separate large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a generous drizzle of vegetable oil over a medium-high heat
Once hot, add the breaded basa and cook for 3-4 min on each side pressing down firmly with a spatula until the outside is golden and the fish is cooked through
Meanwhile, boil a kettle. Trim, then slice the spring onions finely
Dissolve the chicken stock cube in 250ml boiled water and add the soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, apple cider vinegar, cornflour with 1 tbsp sugar and whisk to combine – this is your stock
Once the vegetables have softened, add the sliced spring onion and stock to the pan and cook for 2-3 min or until the thickened
Once thickened, remove the pan from the heat and keep covered until serving
Slice the cooked fish into strips.Serve the Chinese vegetables over the basmati rice Top with the crispy fish fillet. Enjoy!
