Chinese Style Poached Cod

10 mins

Tender cod loins gently poached in a fragrant ginger and garlic broth with broccoli, sugar snap peas and edamame, then served over brown rice and topped with sesame seeds and fresh chilli. It’s light, nourishing and made in one pot with no added oil. Cod and edamame make it high in protein, and the vegetables and brown rice add plenty of fibre.

Ingredients
  • 500ml reduced-salt fish or vegetable stock
  • 1 garlic clove, crushed
  • 2.5cm piece of fresh ginger, cut into matchsticks
  • ½ tsp sriracha or hot chilli sauce (optional)
  • 2 cod loins (around 300g), fresh or frozen and defrosted
  • 300g green vegetables, such as broccoli and sugar snap peas (fresh or frozen)
  • 200g frozen edamame beans (or frozen peas) 
  • 200g cooked brown rice (around ¾ x 250g pouch, or 80g dried brown rice)
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds, toasted
  • 1 tsp jalapeño or green chilli, diced (optional)
