Cooking Steps

Cook rice
1
  • Before starting, preheat the broiler to high.
  • Wash and dry all produce.
  • Using a strainer, rinse rice until water runs clear.
  • To a medium pot, add 1 cup (2 cups) water and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) salt. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
  • Add rice to the boiling water, then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 12-14 min, until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
  • Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.
Toast sesame seeds
2
  • Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high. When hot add sesame seeds. Toast for 2-3 min, stirring often, until golden. (TIP: Keep your eye on them so they don't burn.)
  • Transfer to a plate.
Prep remaining ingredients
3
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Core, then cut peppers into 1/4-inch pieces.
Cook fish
4
  • Pat salmon dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Reheat the same pan (from step 2) over medium heat.
  • When hot, add half the sesame oil, then salmon. Cook for 2-3 min per side, until golden.
  • Transfer salmon to the parchment-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle salmon with toasted sesame seeds, pressing gently to adhere.
  • Roast in the middle of the oven for 6-8 min, until golden and cooked through.**
Cook veggies
5
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, miso broth concentrate, 3 tbsp (6 tbsp) water and remaining sesame oil.
  • Reheat pan over medium-high heat.
  • Add coleslaw cabbage mix, peppers and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) water. Cook for 3-4 min, stirring occasionally, until starting to soften and water is absorbed.
  • Add ginger-garlic puree. Cook for 30 sec, until fragrant.
  • Add sauce mixture. Cook for 2-3 min, stirring occasionally, until veggies are tender and sauce thickens slightly.
Finish and serve
6
  • Divide rice between bowls.
  • Top with veggies and fish. Drizzle any remaining sauce from the pan over top.
