RICE
Place the rinsed rice in a pot with 100ml of salted water and ½ the coconut cream. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the water has been absorbed, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and steam, 8-10 minutes. Fluff with a fork, mix in the remaining coconut cream, and cover.
SEEDS
Place the sesame seeds in a pan over medium heat. Toast until they pop, 2-3 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
FISH
Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the fish dry with paper towel. When hot, fry the fish until golden, 3-4 minutes per side. In the final minute, baste with a knob of butter. Remove from the pan and season.
SAUCE
Roughly slice the pak choi stems and cut the leaves in half lengthways. Return the pan, wiped down if necessary, with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the stems, the grated ginger, and the grated garlic until fragrant, 2-3 minutes. Add the soy-sesame sauce, 10ml of sweetener, and 50ml of water. Simmer until almost reduced by half, 5-6 minutes. In the final 1-2 minutes, mix in the pak choi leaves.
DINNER IS READY
Make a bed of the coconut rice, top with the fish, pour over the sauce (to taste), and side with the pak choi leaves. Sprinkle over the sliced spring onions and the sesame seeds.
