Spicy Fish Stirfry

Great for winter. This will really satisfy your taste buds, not to mention all the great nutrients your body will get. (Can substitute Fish with lean beef, chicken or tofu)

You will need:

  • Fish (White fish works best – can be used from frozen), Lean Meat, Chicken or Tofu
  • 1/2 can of lite coconut milk (about 200mls)
  • 1/2 cup of water
  • 1 tablespoon of olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons of green curry paste (use more or less depending on how spicy you like your food)
  • Sliced and diced vegetables of your choice. I usually use the following:
  • Onion
  • Carrot and Capsicum chopped into small pieces
  • Pumpkin or Kumera thinly sliced
  • Brocoli chopped into florettes
  • Cabbage/ Silverbeet/ Spinach (optional) sliced

Heat olive oil in a large frying pan. (if you are using chicken or lean beef instead of fish then add them to the fry pan at the same time as the onion and make sure they are cooked for 3-4 mins on high before adding the starchy vegetables). Then add the starchy vegetables (like kumera/ pumpkin) and cook for 2-3 mins. Add 1/2 cup of water with the remaining vegetables (except the silverbeet/ spianch and cabbage as these cook quickly). Add your fish (or tofu) on the top (you can use either fresh or frozen fish) and pop on the frying pan lid. Leave it cooking on high for another 5 mins, then remove the lid adding in the lite coconut milk and green curry paste. Stir in carefully then add in the last lot of vegetables on the top (if required). Cook for a further 5-10 minutes making sure both the fish/ meat/ chicken / tofu and the kumera/ pumpkin are cooked.

The amount of fish, meat, chicken, tofu and vegetables will depend on how many people you are needing to feed. Ideally each person should work on their plate being made of half vegetables (non starchy) 1/5 of starchy vegetables and a persons palm size of protein (meat, fish, chicken or tofu).

A great healthy, nutritious winter warmer that is easy to prepare and tastes delicious.
