Ingredients

  • 1 litre vegetable stock
  • 4 inch piece of ginger
  • 2 sticks lemongrass
  • 4 shallots
  • 4 spring onions
  • 1 green chilli
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
  • 1 large bunch coriander
  • 1 pak choi
  • 120 grams shiitake mushrooms
  • 2 sea bass fillets
  • 250 grams cooked jasmine rice

Instructions

  • Pour the stock into a large casserole dish and put on a medium heat – bring to a simmer.
  • Chop the shallots, ginger, spring onions and chilli. Add to the stock. Bruise the lemongrass with the back of a knife and add that too.
  • Add the fish sauce, soy sauce, chopped mushrooms, chopped pak choi and chopped coriander stalks.
  • Place the fish gently, skin down, into the stock. Simmer for about 5 minutes, depending on how thick your fish is, until cooked all the way through.
  • Chop the coriander leaves and scatter over the top for the last 30 seconds of cooking.
  • To serve, place a large spoonful of rice in the middle of a bowl, top with the fish and then ladle over as much of the delicious stock as you can.
