Sweet Soy Trout & Herb Rice Pilaf

From India to Turkey and the Caribbean, rice pilaf has many versions. Our UCOOK creation features jasmine rice cooked in coconut cream & chicken stock until fluffy, then dotted with plump peas, spring onion & fresh basil. Topped with a flaky trout coated in a sweet-soy sauce. Add a kick of chilli and a crunch of toasted peanuts, and you’ll be hooked on this exquisite meal.

  1. COCONUT & PEA RICE

    Rinse, pick, and roughly chop the basil and the parsley separately. Place the rinsed rice in a pot with the chicken stock, the coconut cream, and 50ml of salted water. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the water has been absorbed, about 10 minutes. In the final 2-3 minutes, stir through the sliced spring onion whites, the peas, and ½ the chopped basil. Remove from the heat and steam, 8-10 minutes. Fluff with a fork and cover.

  2. SWEET-SOY SAUCE

    In a bowl, combine the soy sauce mix, the chopped parsley, the grated garlic & ginger, ½ the sliced chilli (to taste), a sweetener (to taste), and seasoning.

  3. TOASTED PEANUTS

    Place the chopped peanuts in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.

  4. NOW ABOUT THE TROUT

    Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the trout dry with paper towel. When hot, fry the fish, skin-side down, until crispy, 2-3 minutes. Flip and fry the other side until cooked through, 30-60 seconds. Add the sauce, remove from the heat, and season.

  5. DIVE INTO A DIVINE DINNER

    Plate up the rice pilaf. Side with the sweet-soy trout. Drizzle over any remaining pan juices. Garnish with the remaining basil, the sliced spring onion greens, the remaining chilli (to taste), and the toasted peanuts.
