Cooking Instructions
- Bring a large saucepan filled with salted hot water to a boil. Add the rice and boil for 25-30 mins, until cooked. Trim the broccoli and add to the pan for the final 3-4 mins of cooking, then drain altogether. Rinse under cold water.
- Make the fritters; dice the fish into 1cm cubes and place in a large bowl with the curry paste, cornflour and a generous pinch of sea salt. Crack in the egg and mix well to combine. Form into 12 fritters.
- Heat a large frying pan with 2 tbsp oil on medium-high heat. Carefully add the fritters, in batches, and cook for 3-5 mins per side, until golden and cooked through.
- Make the dressing; zest half the orange and place in a large mixing bowl. Squeeze in the orange juice and mix in the ginger and garlic paste, miso, sesame seeds, sesame oil and a pinch of sea salt.
- Trim the pak choi and cut into bite-sized pieces. Trim and thinly slice the radishes. Add both to the dressing bowl along with cooked rice and broccoli and mix. Season to taste with sea salt and black pepper.
- Serve the rice in bowls topped with the fish fritters.
