Preparation
1
Cook the rice

• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. 
• Finely chop garlic.
• In a medium saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive 
oil over medium heat. Cook half the garlic until 
fragrant, 1-2 minutes. 
• Add the water (for the rice) and a generous 
pinch of salt and bring to the boil.
• Add jasmine rice, stir, cover with a lid and 
reduce heat to low.
• Cook for 10 minutes, then remove from heat 
and keep covered until rice is tender and all the 
water is absorbed, 10 minutes. 


TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so 
don’t peek!

2
Get prepped

• Meanwhile, trim and halve green beans.
• Roughly chop Asian greens. 
• Thinly slice long chilli (if using).

3
Steam the barramundi

• When rice has 15 minutes remaining, discard 
any liquid from barramundi packaging.
• Season fish on both sides with salt and pepper
and top with sliced chilli. Wrap fish in baking 
paper, skin-side down, then in foil, folding the 
seams to seal.
• Place on a lined oven tray. Bake until cooked 
through, 12-14 minutes.

4
Cook the garlic veg

• While fish is cooking, in a large frying pan, heat a 
drizzle of olive oil over high heat.
• Cook green beans, tossing, until tender, 
4-5 minutes.
• Reduce heat to medium, thenadd garlic and 
Asian greens and cook, until wilted and 
fragrant, 1 minute. 
• Transfer to a bowl, season to taste and cover to 
keep warm.

5
Make the sauce

• In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine ginger
lemongrass paste, the soy sauce, vinegar, 
brown sugar, water (for the sauce) and a 
drizzle of olive oil.
• Microwave until fragrant and heated through, 
30 seconds. Season with pepper.

6
Finish & serve

• Divide rice and garlic veg between bowls.
• Top with steamed barramundi.
• Spoon over ginger lemongrass sauce to serve. 
Enjoy!
