We’re letting you in on a few of our favorite culinary secrets to get this meal on the table in less than 30 minutes. Cornstarch helps the cod filets get extra crispy when fried, while a quick zap in the microwave renders broccoli to a tender finish. Lime zest delivers quick and fresh flavor to jasmine rice, and a generous drizzle of Thai sweet chili sauce rounds out this perfectly balanced plate.

Serves: 2

Cook Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients:

5 oz of jasmine rice
1 lime
½ broccoli
10 oz of cod filets
1½ oz of cornstarch
3 oz of Thai sweet chili sauce
¼ oz of toasted sesame seeds
neutral oil

Instructions:

In a small saucepan, combine rice, 1¼ cups water, and ½ teaspoon salt; bring to a boil over high heat. Cover and cook over low until rice is tender and water is absorbed, about 17 minutes. Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.
Zest lime, then cut remaining into wedges. Cut broccoli into 1-inch florets, if necessary. Pat fish dry, then season with salt and pepper. Coat fish evenly in cornstarch, pressing lightly so that the cornstarch adheres to the outside of the fish.
Heat ½-inch oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high (oil should register 350℉; a pinch of cornstarch should sizzle immediately). Add cod to skillet in an even layer. Cook until lightly golden and crisp, 3–6 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
Meanwhile, transfer broccoli to a microwave safe bowl. Cover with a damp paper towel and heat until just tender, 2–3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
In a microwave safe bowl, combine sweet chili sauce and 1 tablespoon water. Cover with a paper towel to prevent splattering, and warm in microwave until bubbling.
Fluff rice with a fork and stir in desired amount of lime zest. Transfer to plates alongside broccoli. Place fish on top and spoon sweet chili sauce over fish so that it is completely coated. Garnish with sesame seeds and serve with lime wedges for squeezing over. Enjoy!
