Wok-cooked monkfish with sesame soy sauce

Wok-cooked monkfish with sesame soy sauce

Preparation

Step 1


Heat some groundnut oil in a large wok over high heat. Add the fish to the wok, pressing lightly on the fillets as they cook. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Turn the heat down to medium.


Step 2


Turn the fish over and sprinkle the garlic, ginger and chile over the fillets. Cook for a further 3 to 4 minutes, depending on the size of the fillet, until the flesh has turned opaque and flakes when poked at with a fork or a pair of chopsticks.


Step 3


Season the fish with the soy sauce and sesame oil. Add the spring onion strips and chopped coriander and cook until the herbs have wilted slightly.


Step 4


To serve, garnish the fillets with the wilted herbs and serve immediately with the steamed vegetables or the scented rice and noodles if using.
