Instructions

Asian Sesame Dressing

1. Place sesame seeds into a dry frypan and toast until golden. Set aside in a small bowl.
2. Place remaining dressing ingredients into TM bowl and combine 10 sec / speed 4. Pour the dressing in with the sesame seeds and set aside.

Fish Dressing

1. Place ginger into TM bowl and chop 5 sec / speed 8.
2. Add spring onions and chop 3 sec / speed 5. Set aside into a small bowl.
3. Add remaining dressing ingredients to the onion and ginger and set aside.
   No need to wash TM bowl.

Rice and Fish Steaming

1. Weigh rice in simmering basket and rinse under water.
2. Pour boiling water into TM bowl and carefully lower basket into TM bowl and cook 20 mins / 100°C / speed 4.
3. While the rice is cooking, tear 4 sheets of baking paper approx. 25 x 25cm square. Place a piece of fish in the middle of a sheet and spoon on a quarter of the fish dressing. Carefully lift the two long ends of the baking paper and fold over a couple of times. Fold up the two ends making a secure, contained parcel. Continue with the remaining fish and place on both levels of the Varoma.

4. Once rice has completed its first 20 mins of cooking, place the assembled Varoma with the fish, on top of TM lid. Continue cooking 10 mins / Varoma / speed 2.
   NB: time of cooking fish will depend on thickness.
5. While the fish and rice are cooking, prepare the salad ingredients and place into a large salad bowl. Roughly chop the coriander and parsley and finely slice the spring onions. Set aside.
6. When fish has finished steaming, place the Varoma onto a plate and set aside to rest while putting the salad together.
7. Rinse rice under cold tap to cool and drain well. Then tip the rice into the salad bowl.
8. Add the Asian Sesame Dressing, coriander, parsley, spring onions and almonds and mix well.
   NB: It may seem like a lot of dressing but the rice will quickly absorb it.

Notes

Fish can be served either in its little parcel on a plate, or out of the parcel, generously spooning the aromatic sauce on top. With a side of Brown Rice & Sesame Salad, makes a delicious meal.
