1/2 red chilli
1 lime
1 tsp of oil
200ml of coconut milk
2 garlic cloves
2 tsp of tamari

Method
Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200°C / gas mark 6 and boil a kettle.

Step 2

Rinse the black rice and add to a saucepan with 500ml of boiling water and a pinch of sea salt. Simmer for 25-30 minutes.

Step 3

Place the fish on a baking tray lined with parchment. Drizzle with 1/2 tsp of oil and season with sea salt and black pepper. Place in the oven for 15 minutes or until cooked through.

Step 4

Meanwhile, peel and finely chop (or grate) the ginger and garlic. Finely chop the chilli and coriander. Slice the sugar snap peas in half length-ways. Roughly chop the baby corn and broccoli into bite-sized pieces.

Step 5

In a large frying pan on a medium heat add 1/2 tsp of oil. Add the garlic, ginger and chilli (as much chilli as desired). Cook for 1 minute. Add the broccoli, baby corn, sugar snaps, tamari, half of the coriander and the juice from half of the lime. Cook for a further 5 minutes until the veg is cooked but still slightly crunchy. Stir in the coconut milk.

Step 6

Add the drained rice to the pan. Stir and cook for 1-2 minutes until hot. Season with sea salt and black pepper, to taste.

Step 7

To serve, spoon the coconut rice and vegetables onto two warm plates. Place the fish on top. Garnish with the remaining lime juice, coriander and sesame seeds.
