English_Rose's Note:

If you can’t get mirin, use white wine or rice vinegar instead and add an extra 1 tbs sugar.

• Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 5 tablespoons mirin
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 lemon, 1/2 juiced and 1/2 sliced
• 9 ounces basmati rice, rinsed in cold water
• 4 (5 ounce) tilapia fillets
• 1 1/4 in piece ginger, shredded
• 1 red chili pepper, deseeded and sliced
• 4 scallions, thinly sliced

Directions:

1. Pour the soy, mirin and sugar in a small saucepan with the lemon juice. Bring to the boil and simmer for 5 mins until slightly syrupy. Remove from the heat and set aside.
2. Put the rice in a large saucepan and cover with water, about 1 ¾ cups. Bring to the boil and turn down to a simmer. Cook for about 5 mins - the rice should have absorbed about ¾ of the water. Place the fish fillets on top.
3. Sprinkle each with ginger, chilli and a slice of lemon. Season with salt and pepper, cover and cook for 5 mins until the fish and rice are cooked through. Serve with a drizzle of the sauce and some sliced scallions.
