Cooking Steps

Cook the rice
1

• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced.
• Finely chop garlic.
• In a large saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over 
medium heat. Cook half the garlic until fragrant, 
1-2 minutes. Add the water (for the rice) and a 
generous pinch of salt and bring to the boil.
• Add jasmine rice, stir, cover with a lid and reduce 
heat to low.
• Cook for 10 minutes, then remove from heat 
and keep covered until rice is tender and water is 
absorbed, 10 minutes.


TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so 
don’t peek! 

Get prepped
2

• Meanwhile, trim and halve green beans.
• Roughly chop Asian greens.
• Thinly slice long chilli (if using). 

Steam the barramundi
3

• When rice has 10 minutes remaining, discard any 
liquid from barramundi packaging.
• Season fish on both sides with salt and pepper and 
top with sliced chilli. 
• Wrap fish in baking paper skin-side down, then in 
foil, folding the seams to seal.
• Place on an oven tray. Bake until cooked through, 
12-14 minutes. 

 TIP: Spread fish over two lined oven trays if your tray is getting crowded.

Cook the veggies
4

• While fish is cooking, in a large frying pan, heat a 
drizzle of olive oil over high heat.
• Cook green beans, until tender, 4-5 minutes.
• Reduce heat to medium, then add remaining 
garlic and Asian greens and cook, until wilted and 
fragrant, 1 minute.
• Transfer to a bowl, season to taste and cover to 
keep warm. 

Make the sauce
5

• In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine 
gingerlemongrass paste, the soy sauce, vinegar, 
brown sugar, water (for the sauce) and a drizzle of 
olive oil.
• Microwave until fragrant and heated through, 
30 seconds. Season with pepper. 

Finish & serve
6

• Divide rice and garlic greens between bowls.
• Top with steamed barramundi.
• Spoon over ginger lemongrass sauce. Tear over 
coriander to serve. Enjoy!
