Cooking Steps

Cook rice
1
  • Before starting, preheat the broiler to high. Wash and dry all produce.
  • To a medium pot, add 1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 cups) water, half the Cumin-Turmeric Spice Blend and 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) salt. Cover and bring to a boil over high.
  • Using a strainer, rinse rice until water runs clear.
  • To the boiling water, stir in rice, then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 18-20 min, until rice is tender and water is absorbed.
  • Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.
Prep
2
  • Meanwhile, cut tomato into 1/2-inch pieces.
  • Halve cucumbers lengthwise, then cut into 1/2-inch pieces.
  • Zest, then juice half the lime. Cut remaining lime into wedges.
  • Using the back of a wooden spoon, or a heavy-bottom pot, gently crush lemongrass to release its fragrance. Cut lemongrass in half crosswise so you have 4 (8) skewers. 
Process fish
3
  • Pat tilapia dry with paper towels, pressing well to absorb as much moisture as possible. 
  • Using a food processor or blender, pulse together tilapia, vegetable stock powder, shredded coconut, ginger-garlic puree and remaining Cumin-Turmeric Spice Blend for 1-2 min, until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
Form fish satay
4
  • Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Grease foil with 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil.
  • To a large bowl, transfer tilapia mixture. Using gloved hands, knead mixture a few times, then divide into 4 (8) equal portions.
  • Firmly mold the mixture around each lemongrass skewer, ensuring that 1/2 inch of lemongrass is left at the top and bottom of each satay. 
  • Carefully transfer satay skewers to the prepared baking sheet.
Broil satay
5
  • In a small microwave-safe bowl, add 2 tbsp (1/4 cup) butter. Microwave for 30 sec, until butter is melted, then stir in chili-garlic sauce. Season with salt. (NOTE: If you don't like spice, omit chili-garlic sauce and brush satay with melted butter only.) Using a silicone brush, brush satay with chili oil butter. 
  • Broil satay in the middle of the oven for 9-11 min, until golden and cooked through.** (TIP: Using a clean brush, mop up caramelized glaze from the baking sheet and brush over satay).
Make salad and serve
6
  • Fluff rice with a fork, then stir in lime zest.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) lime juice, 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) sugar and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Add cucumbers and tomatoes, then toss to coat.
  • Divide rice, Balinese fish satay and cucumber-tomato salad between plates.
  • Squeeze a lime wedge over top.
  • Remove and discard lemongrass skewers before eating.
