Cooking Steps
• Boil the kettle. • Half-fill a medium saucepan with boiling water. Add basmati rice and a pinch of salt and cook, uncovered, over high heat until tender, 12 minutes. Drain. • Meanwhile, thinly slice spring onion. Crush black peppercorns with a pestle and mortar, or in their sachet using a rolling pin.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. Cook trimmed green beans and soffritto mix, until tender, 4-5 minutes. • Reduce heat to medium-high, and add spring onion, garlic paste and then crack the egg into the pan and scramble until cooked through, 1 minute. • Add cooked rice and the soy sauce, stirring well to combine. Season with salt and pepper. • Transfer to serving bowls and cover to keep warm.
• Pat barramundi dry with paper towel. In a medium bowl, combine fish, the plain flour, crushed peppercorns and a pinch of salt. • Wipe out the frying pan and return to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • When oil is hot, cook barramundi, skin-side down first, until just cooked through, 5 minutes each side (depending on thickness). • Meanwhile, in a small heatproof bowl, combine sweet & sour sauce and the water. Microwave in 30-second bursts, until heated through.
TIP: Patting the skin dry helps it crisp up in the pan!
• Top rice bowls with fish and spoon over sweet and sour sauce. • Garnish with mixed sesame seeds to serve. Enjoy!
