From your kitchen
  • 150ml boiling water

Step by step this way
  • 1.

    Preheat your oven to 200°C/Fan 180°C/Gas 6. Fill your kettle and boil it. Tip the rice into a bowl, cover with cold water and whisk for 1-2 mins till the water goes cloudy. Drain, rinse and tip the rice into a small pan. Pour in 150ml boiling water. Add a pinch of salt. Cover, bring to the boil, then turn the heat right down. Gently simmer for 20-25 mins till the water has been absorbed. Take off the heat and leave to steam, lid on, for 2-4 mins till the rice is cooked. The rice will stay warm in the pan.

    Meanwhile, peel and finely grate the garlic and ginger. Slide both into a small bowl. Zest and juice in the lemon. Pick the mint leaves, finely shred them and add to the bowl. Pour in 2 tbsp tamari and add a pinch of ground pepper. Stir to mix, then set aside.

  • 3.

    Trim the top 3cm and root of the leek. Halve lengthways and rinse under a cold tap. Thinly slice the leek. Top and tail the carrots and peel them. Use the vegetable peeler to shave the carrots into ribbons – when you get down to the cores, thinly slice them. Thinly slice the chestnut mushrooms. Trim any woody ends away from the kale and shred the leaves.

  • 4.

    Lay the cod fillets on a baking tray and season with salt and pepper. Drizzle over 1 tsp oil and turn the fish to coat it. Slide into the oven to roast for 12-15 mins, till the cod is cooked and flaky.

  • 5.

    While the fish is cooking, pour 1 tsp oil into a large pan or wok and warm to a medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, add the mushrooms and leek. Stir fry for 4-5 mins, till slightly softened. Add the kale leaves and carrot ribbons and cook for a further 2-3 mins, till warmed through.

  • 6.

    Fluff up the rice and divide it between a couple of plates. Top with the stir-fried veg and roasted cod. Drizzle with the tamari dressing and serve.
