Method

Ingredients

To make the rice, pound the lemongrass and ginger into a coarse paste using a pestle and mortar. Transfer to a saucepan and add the rice, salt, chicken stock and water. Cook according to package instructions.

Place the trout, skin side down, in a pan over a high heat and cook until the skin is golden and crisp.

Serve with the rice and drizzle over the soya sauce. Place the sliced spring onion in iced water for a few minutes until it curls. Garnish with the spring onion, chilli, basil leaves and squeeze over the limes.

Cook’s note: Cooking the rice in stock adds an extra punch of flavour.
