Ingredients

12 total
  • 150g sushi rice
  • 2 cod fillets (approx. 320g)
  • 200g exotic mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 tbsp Hanamaruki Ekitai Shio Koji
  • 1 tbsp black tahini
  • 2 tsp miso
  • 2 tsp brown sugar (or honey)
  • ½ tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tsp rice vinegar
  • ½ tsp sesame oil
  • 200g purple sprouting broccoli
  • 4 chives, finely chopped

Method

5 steps
  1. Step 1

    Cook the rice as per pack instructions, ensuring you soak the grains for 30 mins before cooking.

  2. Step 2

    Put the cod and mushrooms in a dish and drizzle over the shio koji; leave to marinate for 10-15 mins.

  3. Step 3

    Meanwhile, make the sauce. Combine the tahini, miso, sugar (or honey), soy sauce, rice vinegar and oil in a bowl with 2 tbsp water and mix until smooth. Set aside.

  4. Step 4

    When you’re ready to cook, place a steamer basket over a shallow pan of water, ensuring it doesn’t touch the water, and bring to the boil. Arrange the mushrooms and broccoli on the steaming rack, then sit the cod fillets on top. Cover and steam for 7-8 mins, until the fish is opaque and flakes easily.

  5. Step 5

    Divide the veg and cod between plates and drizzle over the sauce. Sprinkle with the chives and serve with a bowl of rice.
