Method

  1. In a small bowl, mix together the dressing ingredients, then set aside. Boil the rice in plenty of water and drain when just cooked, about 15 mins.

  2. Meanwhile, put the vegetables and fish in a large steamer in two layers. Steam the fish for 5-8 mins and the veg for 4-5 mins until cooked through. Spoon the rice into bowls and top with the steamed fish and veg. Pour some dressing over and top with the spring onions, mixed seeds and pickled ginger, if you like.

Wonderful dish! Very easy and quick to make, as well as healthy! Can't think of anything I would do to improve, 10/10. Perfect for us living in Indonesia, as ingredients are readily available here. Will be making again, and again!

I would love to try this recipe, but I'm struggling to find any pak choi.. I've never cooked with it before, does anyone have any suggestions of a substitute?

I'm surprised you are struggling to find it as it is readily available in most supermarkets. Most Chinese leaves will work, or cabbage but it won't be quite the same. I'd probably use a baby gem gem lettuce if all else fails. Try asking for it next time you are in a supermarket if you can't find it. It may be that you have missed it in the store as I would expect to be able to go in to any Tesco, sainsburys, morrisons, asda waitrose etc and get some
