step-by-step

instructions

Cook Along

1 Cook the rice

Carefully rinse the rice (sifting through for any impurities). Drain thoroughly. In a small pot, combine the rice, a big pinch of salt, and 1 cup of water. Heat to boiling on high. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook, without stirring, 13 to 15 minutes, or until the water has been absorbed and the rice is tender. Turn off the heat and fluff with a fork.

2 Prepare the ingredients & make the glaze

Meanwhile, wash and dry the fresh produce. Cut off and discard the root ends of the bok choy; separate the leaves. Peel and thinly slice 2 cloves of garlic. Thinly slice the scallions, separating the white bottoms and hollow green tops. In a bowl, combine the black bean-chile sauce, sesame oil, honey, 1/4 cup of water, and as much of the gochujang as you'd like, depending on how spicy you'd like the dish to be.

3 Cook the bok choy

In a medium pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the bok choy leaves, sliced garlic, and sliced white bottoms of the scallions; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 minutes, or until the bok choy leaves are wilted. Add 2 tablespoons of water (carefully, as the liquid may splatter). Cook, stirring occasionally, 1 to 2 minutes, or until the bok choy stems are softened and the water has cooked off. Transfer to a bowl. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Cover with foil to keep warm. Wipe out the pan.

4 Cook the fish & serve your dish

Pat the fish dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper on both sides. In the same pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned fish. Cook 2 to 3 minutes, or until browned. Flip and cook 1 minute. Add the glaze (carefully, as the liquid may splatter); season with salt and pepper. Cook, constantly spooning the glaze over the fish, 1 to 2 minutes, or until the fish is coated and cooked through.* Turn off the heat. Serve the cooked rice topped with the cooked bok choy and cooked fish (including any glaze from the pan). Garnish with the sliced green tops of the scallions. Enjoy!

*The USDA recommends a minimum safe cooking temperature of 145°F for fish.
