Cookware and heat guide

  • Cookware: large wok or nonstick skillet
  • Heat: medium-high heat
  • Best side: cold cooked rice

Helpful answer

Prep the sauce before the pan gets hot, keep the protein in one layer, and add the sauce near the end so it coats the food without burning.

Ingredients

What you need

  • 1 lb firm fish fillets such as cod, salmon, or tilapia
  • 2 cups bell pepper, cut into bite-size pieces
  • 1 cup cold cooked rice
  • 2 tablespoons neutral oil, divided
  • 3 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar or lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, finely grated
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley or scallions
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds or crushed peanuts, optional

Directions

How to make it

  1. Minute 0-5, cutting board and knife: pat fish dry and cut large fillets into even portions. Cut bell pepper into bite-size pieces.
  2. Minute 5-8, small bowl: whisk sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, cider vinegar, garlic, and a touch of honey. Keep it beside the stove.
  3. Minute 8-10, large wok or nonstick skillet: preheat over medium-high heat until a drop of water sizzles. Add 1 tablespoon oil.
  4. Minute 10-17, large wok or nonstick skillet: cook the protein in one layer until browned. Cook fish until it flakes easily with a fork.
  5. Minute 17-22, large wok or nonstick skillet: add bell pepper and cook until crisp-tender, stirring every minute.
  6. Minute 22-26, large wok or nonstick skillet: add cold cooked rice and the sauce. Toss until everything is glossy and hot.
  7. Minute 26-30, serving bowl: turn off the heat, add parsley or scallions, taste, and serve right away.

Tips

Make it yours

  • Keep the pan at medium-high heat; lower the heat if the sauce darkens too fast.
  • Cut bell pepper evenly so the pieces cook at the same speed.
  • Make the sauce before cooking so the final toss takes less than 2 minutes.
  • For meal prep, store the sauce separately and reheat gently.
