Steamed Cod with Ginger, Soy and Vegetables

2

10 mins

Delicate cod gently steamed on a bed of cabbage, oyster mushrooms, pak choi and edamame, in a fragrant soy, ginger and garlic sauce. Everything cooks together in one pan in about 20 minutes. Cod is a lean source of protein, and the vegetables and edamame add plenty of fibre, making this a light but filling dinner.

Ingredients
  • 2 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1 small onion, sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 15g fresh ginger (a 2–3cm piece), cut into thin matchsticks
  • 150g cabbage, shredded
  • 150g oyster mushrooms, sliced (or any mushrooms)
  • 100g frozen edamame beans (or frozen peas)
  • 1 tbsp reduced-salt soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • ½ tsp fish sauce
  • ½ tsp honey (or maple syrup for vegan) (optional)
  • 2 cod fillets (around 140g each), fresh or frozen and defrosted (or any white fish)
  • 300g pak choi or choi sum, cut into large pieces (or cabbage) 
  • 1 bunch spring onions (around 100g), sliced
