Ingredients
- Coriander: coriander sprigs
- Red Chilli: 1 red chilli, finely sliced
- Lemon: juice 1/2 lemon
- Trout: 2 rainbow trout fillets
- Ginger: large piece of ginger, finely sliced
- Golden Caster Sugar: 50g golden caster sugar
- Thai Fish Sauce: 1 tbsp Thai fish sauce
- Bok Choi: 2 heads bok choi, halved
- Rice: steamed rice, to serve
Directions
- Put the sugar in a large shallow pan, along with a small splash of water. Heat gently, swirling the pan, until the sugar has dissolved. Increase the heat and bubble the syrup until it turns a dark amber colour. Add the fish sauce, most of the chilli and ginger, then splash in 1 tbsp water to dilute. Boil again until syrupy, then add the fish fillets, skin-side down, and the bok choi, cut-side down.
- Cover the pan with a lid and simmer for 4-5 mins until the fish is cooked and the bok choi has wilted. Turn off the heat, squeeze over the lemon and scatter with the remaining chilli, ginger and the coriander sprigs. Serve with rice.
