11/14/2016: We received the ingredients and recipe for this dish from Blue Apron. Among the fishes, cod is one of our favorites.
Here’s my interpretation of the recipe:
Ingredients:
(4) pieces cod fillets
(3/4) cup of Jasmine rice
(6) oz. green cabbage
(3) cloves garlic
(2) scallions
(1) delicate squash
(2) Tbsp. rice vinegar
(1/4) cup sweet chili sauce
Here I added (4) pieces bacon to the recipe.
Instructions:
- Wash and dry the fresh produce. Cut off and discard the root ends of the scallions and dices it; Cut off and discard the ends of the squash; peel the squash, quarter the squash lengthwise, scoop out the pulp and seeds. Cut the squash crosswise into 1/4 inch thick pieces. Cut out and discard the cabbage core; small dice the leaves. Peel and finely chop the garlic.
- Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Cook the rice how ever you usually do. Such as adding the salt to the water. I always cook it only with water in rice cooker.
- Cook the bacon, drain the fat, then dice them.
- In a large pan, heat 2 tbsp. of olive oil (or veg. oil) on medium-high. Add the garlic first for 30 seconds, then the squash and cook it until golden brown and slightly softened about 4 to 6 minutes. Add the cabbage, cook until the cabbage has wilted. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add diced bacon and cooked vegetable into the pot of cooked rice. Mix them well.
- In the pan, heat 2 tbsp. of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the white bottoms of the scallions and seasoned fillets and cook 2 to 4 minutes per side, or until lightly browned. Add the sweet chili sauce and half vinegar to the pan. 1 to 2 minutes, or until the cod is thoroughly coated and cooked through.
- Divide the finished rice and glazed cod fillets between four dishes. Top the cod with any remaining sauce from the pan. Garnish with the green tops of the scallions.
