Cooking Instructions

To make the rice:

  1. 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.
  2. Place the trout, skin side down, in a pan over a high heat and cook until the skin is golden and crisp.
  3. 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.
