Cost per serving $0.78 view details
  • 1 cup (250 mL) PC Thai Jasmine Rice, rinsed
  • 2 slices ginger root (each about the size of a quarter), peeled
  • 1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt
  • 1 pkg (240 g) PC Sustainably Sourced Wild Pacific Halibut Skinless Fillets, thawed and drained
  • 1 cup (250 mL) thinly sliced green beans
  • 1/4 cup (50 mL) soy sauce
  • 4 tsp (20 mL) pure sesame oil
  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) thinly sliced green onions
  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) dry roasted, lightly seasoned peanuts, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) cilantro leaves

Directions

  1. 1. Bring rice and 10 cups (2.5 L) water to a boil in large saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Stir in ginger and salt. Reduce heat to low, partially cover and simmer for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until rice has broken apart and is the consistency of thin porridge.
  2. 2. Cut fish into 1/2-inch (1 cm) cubes. Remove ginger from rice mixture; discard. Stir fish and beans into rice; cover and cook for 5 minutes, stirring once or twice, or until fish is cooked through.
  3. 3. Ladle into 8 soup bowls. Drizzle with soy sauce and sesame oil. Top with green onions, peanuts and cilantro.
  4. Chef Tom's Tip: For a heartier dish, replace 4 cups (1 L) of the water with one 900 mL carton of chicken broth.
