Soy Steamed Cod and Crisp Gingered Vegetables

Serves: 4

Ingredients:

4 portions of cod fillet, approximately 160g each
1 packet mange tout
1 packet oyster mushrooms, torn into thick strips
1 sweet potato, peeled and cut into thin chips (it's really important these are cut thinly as it will affect overall cooking time)
1 large piece of ginger, peeled and cut into thin strips
3 cloves of garlic, peeled and thinly sliced
4 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp dark soy sauce
4 tbsp water
Salt and pepper
 

Method:

  1. Brush a roasting tray with a tiny bit of olive oil and place the fish on top.
  2. Season and sprinkle some of the garlic and ginger on top. Drizzle the soy sauce over the fish and pour the water around.
  3. Cover with tinfoil and seal really tightly around the edges.
  4. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.
  5. When heated, place the fish in the oven for 5 minutes. 
  6. Heat a wok with the remaining olive oil. When it starts to smoke add the ginger followed by the garlic. Then straight away add the sweet potato. 
  7. At this point add a splash of water - just to help the sweet potato cook. 
  8. After 3 minutes add the mange tout and mushrooms along with another splash of water. 
  9. Keep turning the vegetables for another 2 minutes, then finally season. 
  10. The sweet potatoes should still be a little crisp but not mushy. 
  11. Divide the vegetables between 4 plates, place the fish on top and drizzle over the juices.
