Tempura Chatham Cod

Jalapeno

Avocado

Jasmine Rice

Method

Tempura Chatham Cod

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tempura Batter

    In a mixing bowl, combine the tempura batter mix with cold water. Whisk until smooth and slightly frothy.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (180°C).

  3. 3

    Fry the Cod

    Dip each Chatham Cod fillet into the tempura batter, allowing any excess to drip off. Carefully place the battered fillets into the hot oil and fry for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Cango

  1. 4

    Prepare Cango

    If using fresh cango, peel and chop it into small pieces. If using canned, drain and set aside.

Jalapeno

  1. 5

    Slice the Jalapeno

    Remove the stem and slice the jalapeno pepper into thin rounds. Remove seeds if you prefer less heat.

Avocado

  1. 6

    Slice the Avocado

    Cut the ripe avocados in half, remove the pit, and slice them into wedges.

Cabbage Slaw

  1. 7

    Prepare the Slaw

    In a bowl, combine shredded green cabbage, shredded carrot, and thinly sliced red onion.

  2. 8

    Dress the Slaw

    In a separate small bowl, whisk together rice vinegar, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Pour this dressing over the vegetable mixture and toss to combine.

Jasmine Rice

  1. 9

    Cook the Rice

    In a saucepan, combine jasmine rice and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 15 minutes until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork.

Salsa Verde

  1. 10

    Prepare the Salsa Verde

    In a blender, combine chopped tomatillos, cilantro, lime juice, minced garlic, and salt. Blend until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.
