Five Spice Cod With Chilli Soy Dressing Recipes

FIVE SPICE COD WITH CHILLI SOY DRESSING

Steps:

• Season the cod chunks with the Chinese 5 spice powder, 2 cloves of minced garlic and a pinch of salt and pepper. Rub this into the fish, and then toss the cod in the corn flour.
• In a separate bowl combine the rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, spring onion and chilli, and set aside.
• In a large sauce pan, heat 1 teaspoon of coconut oil on a medium heat. Once hot add the cod and cook for 3 to 4 minutes each side until cooked through out, and the outside turns slightly golden.
• While this is cooking, in a separate pan, heat 1 teaspoon of coconut oil on a medium to high gas and add the mange tout with 1 clove of mince garlic. Season the greens a little with salt and pepper, then cook for 4 minutes, giving it a stir every so often to ensure the flavours spread evenly and the mange tout remains firm but tender.
• Once ready, serve the cod chunks on top of the mange tout and drizzle the soy dressing over the top.

FIVE-SPICE FISH

Steps:

• Toss the fish in the five-spice powder and cornstarch to coat.
• Heat the oil in a frying pan or wok and stir-fry the scallions, ginger, mushrooms, and corn for 1 minute.
• Add the spiced fish and cook for 2 minutes, turning once.
• Mix together the soy sauce, sherry, and sugar, then pour over the fish.
• Simmer for 2 minutes.
• Season to taste and serve.

BLACK COD FILLETS POACHED IN FIVE-SPICE BROTH WITH BABY BOK CHOY AND UDON

Steps:

• 1. Pat the fillets dry and sprinkle all over with salt and pepper.
• 2. In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, sherry, soy sauce, sugar, five-spice powder, and sesame oil. Set aside.
• 3. Heat a 12-in/30.5-cm skillet with a lid over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil. When the oil shimmers, add the bok choy stems, carrot, and ginger and sauté until the bok choy turns bright green and the ginger is fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the broth mixture and bring to a simmer. Add the noodles and give them a stir to keep them from sticking. When the broth returns to a simmer, top the noodles and veggies with the fish, bok choy leaves, and green onion. Cover, reduce the heat to low, and simmer until the noodles and fish are tender and cooked through, about 4 minutes. Taste and add more soy sauce or pepper if the mix needs it.
• 4. Divide the noodles and fish between two warmed shallow bowls and ladle the broth and vegetables over. Garnish with the cilantro and sesame seeds and serve hot.
