Five Spice Cod With Chilli Soy Dressing Recipes

PAN FRIED COD WITH ASIAN DRESSING

Steps:

• To make the dressing, boil the soy sauce, vinegar and 5 spice powder together.
• Remove from the heat, mix in the sesame oil and season with salt and pepper.
• Set aside.
• Mix the spring onions with the chilli.
• Lightly coat the fish fillets with seasoned flour.
• Heat the knob of butter in a fry pan and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side (depending on thickness) until cooked.
• Reheat the dressing and add the onions and chilli-cook for 1-2 minutes more.
• Serve the fish with the dressing spooned over.

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.

SOY & CHILLI CHICKEN WITH PEPPERS & PEANUTS

Steps:

• Mix together the wine, cornflour and half the soy sauce in a large bowl, then tip in the chicken pieces and toss to coat. You can do this up to a day ahead and keep covered and chilled until needed. Heat half the oil in a wok over a high heat and fry the chicken for 4-5 mins, stirring occasionally, until golden on all sides. Scoop out onto a plate.
• Heat the rest of the oil in the same wok and fry the peppers and spring onion whites for 1 min. Add the garlic, ginger and chilli, and stir-fry for another minute. Add the sugar, vinegar and the remaining soy. Let everything sizzle for 30 seconds, then tip the chicken and any juices into the wok along with the nuts. Stir-fry for another 1-2 mins until the chicken is cooked through. Stir through the spring onion greens and serve with rice or toss through some cooked noodles, if you like.

PACIFIC COD CEVICHE

Steps:

• Remove any pin bones from the fish with tweezers or needle-nose pliers. Cut the fish into 1/2-inch pieces and place in a large glass or stainless steel bowl. Add the lime juice and toss together well. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 5 to 7 hours, stirring from time to time.
• Add the onion, garlic, chilies, salt and pepper, avocado and olive oil, and stir together. Refrigerate for another hour. Shortly before serving, stir in the cilantro and the radishes.
• Line wide bowls or plates with lettuce leaves or spinach. Using a slotted spoon, spoon the ceviche over the leaves. Garnish with cilantro sprigs, and serve.

SMOKED SALMON WITH ASIAN DRESSING

Steps:

• Mix the ingredients for the dressing. It will keep in the fridge overnight, although the flavours will get hotter as the chilli sits in the liquid.
• To serve, arrange the salmon on plates - it works out at about 3 slices per person. Mix the avocado, cucumber and coriander, then pile or scatter on top. Spoon over a little of the dressing and serve.

• Sprinkle chili powder, herb and salt.
