Miso mackerel rice bowl recipe

Ingredients

  • 2 tsp white miso
  • ½ tbsp rice wine vinegar
  • ½ tsp honey
  • 1 tsp low sodium soy sauce
  • ½ tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp cold-pressed rapeseed oil
  • 2 leeks, washed and sliced
  • 1 garlic clove, finely grated
  • thumb-sized piece ginger, half grated, half cut into matchsticks
  • 2 pak choi, shredded
  • 250g pouch wholegrain rice
  • 2 mackerel fillets
  • ½ red chilli, cut into thin strips

Method

  • Mix together 1 tsp miso, the vinegar, honey, soy and sesame oil with 1 tbsp water to make a dressing. Heat the grill to high. Line a grill pan with foil.

  • Put 2 tsp rapeseed oil in a frying pan. Tip in the leeks and cook over a medium heat for 5 mins until starting to soften. Stir in the garlic, grated ginger and remaining miso. Cook until the leeks are soft. Add the pak choi and rice with 1 tbsp water, breaking up the rice with the back of a spoon. Cook until the pak choi is wilted, then turn the heat down to low.

  • Drizzle the remaining oil over the mackerel and season. Put the fillets skin-side up on the grill pan and grill for 2-3 mins until just flaking.

  • Pour the dressing into the greens and rice. Mix well and divide between two bowls. Put the mackerel on top and scatter over the chilli and ginger.
