Method
step 1
Put the lemongrass pieces, ginger, chillies, coconut milk, half a can of water and turmeric into a shallow pan with a lid. Bring to a simmer, then turn the heat down to low. Season well.
step 2
Cook the rice following pack instructions. Use a slotted spoon to remove the lemongrass from the broth and add the veg, then lower in the fish to submerge. Cover with a lid and cook for 6-8 mins until just flaky.
step 3
Fluff up the rice with a fork. Divide between two bowls, and top with the fish and vegetables. Stir the lime zest, juice and fish sauce into the broth and spoon this over the fish. Serve topped with some coriander, more sliced chillies if you like, and lime wedges on the side to squeeze over.
