Method

  • step 1

    In a small bowl, mix together the dressing ingredients, then set aside. Boil the rice in plenty of water and drain when just cooked, about 15 mins.

  • step 2

    Meanwhile, put the vegetables and fish in a large steamer in two layers. Steam the fish for 5-8 mins and the veg for 4-5 mins until cooked through. Spoon the rice into bowls and top with the steamed fish and veg. Pour some dressing over and top with the spring onions, mixed seeds and pickled ginger, if you like.

This is such a refreshing, easy mid week meal. I halved the recipe for two and used only used 1 lime as I found even 1.5 limes was a little too overpowering. Great dish, would definitely recommend.

Great quick easy midweek dinner. I also followed the below and put 1.5 limes in the dressing and it was delicious! I also used chilli paste instead of chilli in the jar.

I read the comment from Becka Jackson below about too much lime juice so I was cautious and added the juice of 1,5 limes - it was perfect! Also, couldn't find the Kecap Manis so used ordinary soya sauce with a large teaspoon of brown sugar. To dissolve the sugar, I heated all the ingredients…

Couldn't eat this after making it, tasted very limey. Substituted sweet soy sauce for soy and brown sugar as couldn't find any sweet soy sauce in local supermarkets.

Wonderful dish! Very easy and quick to make, as well as healthy! Can't think of anything I would do to improve, 10/10. Perfect for us living in Indonesia, as ingredients are readily available here. Will be making again, and again!
