Cooking Instructions

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

  • Bring a large saucepan filled with salted water to the boil
  • Pull out 2 large frying pans, a sieve & a small bowl

Get the rice on

  • Add the rice to the saucepan and boil for 25-30 mins, until cooked
  • In the final 2 mins of cooking, add the peas, then drain together

Prep time

  • Halve the carrots lengthways, then cut into 1cm thick half-moons. Pick any woody stalks from the cavolo nero. Cut the pak choi and spring onions into 3cm pieces. Quarter 1 lime
  • In the small bowl, combine half the ginger & garlic paste, the maple, miso, the juice from the lime, half the tamari and 1/2 tbsp water. Season with salt and pepper

Cook the veg

  • Heat a large frying pan with 1 tsp oil on a medium-high heat. Once hot, add the carrot and spring onion and cook for 3 mins
  • Add the cavolo nero and pak choi and cook for 2 mins. Add the remaining tamari and remaining ginger & garlic paste. Cook for 1 min

Sizzle the sea bream

  • Heat the other large frying pan with 1 tsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the sea bream, skin-side down, and cook for 4 mins, flip and cook for a further 5 mins

Plate up

  • Check your fish is cooked through; it should be steaming hot, opaque and separate easily with a fork
  • Serve the rice into bowls, with the veg alongside. Top with the sea bream. Garnish with the remaining lime, cut into wedges
  • Pour over the miso sauce and scatter over the cashew nuts
