Asian Braised Fish with Greens
- 1 pound soba or udon noodles or 1 1/2 cups jasmine, brown, or white rice
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons mirin or 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon grated peeled ginger root
- 3 garlic cloves, minced or pressed
- 6 scallions
- 1 head of bok choy (about 1 1/2 pounds)
- 1 1/2 pounds firm fish fillets, at least 1/2-inch thick
- 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
- Pinch of salt
- Sesame seeds (optional)
- Cook the noodles or rice (see pages 16 and 176).
- Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine the soy sauce, mirin, vinegar, ginger, garlic, and 3 tablespoons of water.
- Set aside.
- Cut the scallions on the diagonal into 1-inch pieces.
- Cut the bok choy on the diagonal into 1/2-inch slices (about 8 cups).
- Cut the fish into serving-sized pieces or bite-sized chunks.
- In a large skillet on high heat, stir-fry the scallions in the oil for a minute.
- Add the bok choy and salt.
- Stir constantly until the greens are just tender but still crisp, about 3 minutes.
- Transfer to a bowl and cover to keep warm.
- Add the soy sauce mixture to the skillet and bring to a simmer.
- Add the fish fillets, cover, and simmer on low heat until cooked through: for fillets, about 6 minutes for each 1/2 inch of thickness, and for chunks, about 4 minutes.
- Carefully turn over the fish about halfway through cooking.
- The fish is done when the flesh is opaque.
- Serve the fish on a bed of the rice or noodles.
- Top with the bok choy, the pan sauce, and a sprinkling of sesame seeds.
