Preparation
1
Cook rice

  • Add 1 cup (2 cups) water and 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) salt to a medium pot. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
  • Meanwhile, using a strainer, rinse rice until water runs clear.
  • Add rice to the boiling water, then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook, until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 12-14 min.
  • Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.

2
Prep

  • Meanwhile, trim, then halve snow peas.
  • Core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces.
  • Thinly slice green onion.
  • Pat tilapia dry with paper towels. Cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces.

3
Toast sesame seeds

  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
  • When hot, add sesame seeds to the dry pan. Toast, stirring often, until golden, 2-4 min. (TIP: Keep your eye on them so they don't burn.) 
  • Transfer to a plate.

4
Cook veggies

  • Add sesame oil to the same pan, then snow peas, peppers, ginger-garlic puree and tilapia. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tilapia turns opaque, 3-4 min.**

5
Make sauce

  • Add rice vinegar, half the oyster sauce (use all for 4 ppl) and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) water. (TIP: Add 1/2 tsp [1 tsp] sugar, if desired).
  • Cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce slightly thickens and tilapia and veggies are coated, 1 min.

6
Finish and serve

  • Fluff rice with a fork, then stir in half the sesame seeds. Season with salt.
  • Divide rice between bowls. Top with tilapia stir-fry.
  • Drizzle 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) sriracha over top. (NOTE: Reference heat guide.)
  • Sprinkle remaining sesame seeds and green onions over top.

7

If you've opted to get tilapia, pat dry with paper towels. Cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces.

8

Cook tilapia in the same way the recipe instructs you to cook the shrimp, increasing cook time to 3-4 minutes,** until tilapia turns opaque. Follow the rest of the recipe as written.
