From the Test Kitchen

The star of this dish is the umami-rich glaze (made from yuzu kosho and soy glaze) we’re using to baste flaky tilapia fillets, an easy technique for even cooking that imbues the fish with all the glaze’s bright flavors. It's all complete with a bed of aromatic rice and a side of tender green beans tossed with citrusy ponzu sauce.

Cook the aromatic rice
1 Cook the aromatic rice

Carefully rinse the rice (sifting through for any impurities). Drain thoroughly. In a medium pot, heat the sautéed aromatics on medium-high until hot. Add the rice. Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 minutes, or until lightly toasted. Add a big pinch of salt and 2 cups of water (carefully, as the liquid may splatter). 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.
