Nutrition per serve

Ingredients

• 150g jasmine rice
• 1pcs zucchini
• 300g basa centre-cut portions
• 70g ayam goreng paste
• 200ml coconut milk
• 10g fried shallots
• 15ml vegetable oil
• 10ml soy sauce

Method

1. Step 1 — Cook rice
   Rinse the rice until the water runs clear. Put in a small saucepan with 250ml (1 cup) water, cover and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 12 mins or until tender and the water is absorbed. Turn off the heat and stand, covered, for at least 5 mins. Fluff the rice with a fork.
2. Step 2 — Prep ingredients
   Meanwhile, thinly slice the zucchini. Cut the fish into 4cm chunks. Heat 1 tbs vegetable oil in a medium deep frypan over medium heat. Cook the zucchini, stirring occasionally, for 3-4 mins until tender. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Step 3 — Start curry
   Add the ayam goreng paste to the zucchini and cook, stirring, for 1 min or until fragrant. Add the coconut milk and 180ml (¾ cup) water and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 mins.
4. Step 4 — Add fish to curry
   Add the fish to the curry and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 mins until the fish is cooked through (see Kitchen 101) and the sauce is slightly thickened. Stir in 2 tsp soy sauce. Taste, then season with salt and pepper. Remove the pan from the heat.
5. Step 5 — Serve up
   Divide the rice and fish curry among bowls, scatter over the fried shallots and enjoy!
6. Step 6 — Kitchen 101
   Not sure if your fish is cooked through? Simply use a fork or the tip of a knife to take a peek inside the thickest part of the flesh; if it comes apart easily, the fish is cooked.
