Being pescatarian for January has been great in making us explore more recipes, and this is one of them 😋 I’ll definitely be keeping my meat eating down even though January is over, it’s healthier and better for the environment and honestly a lot of the veggie dishes I’ve done over the past month have been way better than some of the meaty ones I used to eat regularly!
Anyway, enough of that, this recipe is actually not too complicated, will be ready in less than 30 minutes, and serves two people. Enjoy!
Ingredients
For the miso cod 🐟
- 2 pieces of fresh cod
- 1 tbsp miso
- 1 tbsp dark soy sauce
- 1/2 tbsp honey
- 10ml fresh lime juice (roughly just less than half a lime)
- Some green bits of the spring onion for garnishing
For the spicy stir-fried broccoli 🥦
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 tsp fresh ginger, minced
- 1/2 head of broccoli
- Pinch of dried chilli flakes, or fresh if you fancy
- 1 tsp of soy sauce or more of it needs more saltiness
Fried rice 🍚
- Small handful frozen peas
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 pack of pre cooked basmati rice (or you can cook your rice the day before and cool it down before frying it)
- Small white onion, finely diced
- 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 3 spring onions, diced
- Dark soy sauce, 1-2tbsp (add gradually and taste to see)
Method
- Mix the miso, soy, honey and lime juice in a small bowl. Put the cod on a plate and cover the in miso glaze you’ve just made, make sure it’s covered all over. Leave to marinade at room temperature for 15 minutes. Preheat the oven to 180 (fan)
- Once the cod is marinated, prepare a tray with a wire rack on top. Place the cod on the rack and pour over any sauce that have stayed on the plate. Cook in the middle of the oven for 12 minutes
- While the fish is cooking, heat a frying pan and fry the beaten egg, remove once cooked and cut into 3cm long thin strips and set aside.
- Next add the broccoli florets to a steamer and steam for around 8mins.
- Meanwhile add a splash of oil to the frying pan. Fry off the garlic and onion and spring onion (the white parts), after 3mins add the peas, cook for 5mins on medium heat.
- Then add the rice and stir continually, add the sliced egg back in and also the soy sauce. Make sure it doesn’t burn – if it’s ready before the rest then set aside off the heat
- In a separate frying pan, add the ginger and garlic for the broccoli, fry for 3min. Add the chilli flakes and fry for a minute of two. Add the broccoli and turn up the heat, and add the soy sauce. Season to taste.
- Divide the rice and broccoli between two plates and top with the fish which should be nice and glazed with the sticky sauce. Top with the reserved green pieces of sliced spring onion
Say Cheese!
