The protein cooking time listed in this recipe has been updated.

As of December 2025, we’ve revised cooking times for all our proteins to reflect improved food safety guidance.

Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

Before you start

  • Pull out a large frying pan, a medium frying pan, a measuring jug & a sieve

Do the prep

  • Thinly slice the pepper. Finely slice the onion. Rinse the spinach. Finely chop the coriander
  • On a separate board, dice the basa into 3cm pieces

Simmer time

  • Heat the large frying pan with 1 tsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the onion and pepper and cook for 3-4 mins, until softened. Season with salt and pepper
  • Add the Panang sauce to the pan with 100ml of water (50ml for 1 person). Bring the sauce to a boil, lay the fish evenly in the pan, then simmer for 12 mins, until cooked through
  • Add the spinach and simmer for 1-2 mins, until wilted then season with salt and pepper

Heat the rice

  • Meanwhile, heat the medium frying pan on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the rice and break it up with a wooden spoon. Add a splash of water and cook for 2-3 mins, until piping hot
  • Roughly chop the coriander

Plate up

  • Check your fish is cooked through; it should be steaming hot, opaque and separate easily with a fork
  • Share the basa penang curry between bowls, with the rice alongside
