Equipment

  • Zip lock bag
  • perforated baking tray
  • chef knife
  • small mixing bowls
  • mortar and pestle

Ingredients

  • 1 x 200gm rockling fillet (skin off)
  • 6-8 baby corn
  • 1/2 stalk of lemongrass
  • 1-2cm piece peeled ginger
  • 3-4 sprigs coriander
  • 5gm black vinegar
  • 5gm soy sauce
  • 10gm sweet soy sauce
  • flake salt
  • extra virgin olive oil

METHOD

Crush the lemongrass with the blade of a chef’s knife and remove the outer layer, finely slice a 4-5cm piece from the root end and set aside. Finely slice the ginger and place the ginger and lemongrass into the bowl of a mortar and pestle.
Pound the ginger and lemongrass to a fine paste and transfer from the mortar and pestle to a small mixing bowl. Add black vinegar, soy and sweet soy to the lemongrass and ginger and mix briefly.
Place the rockling in a zip lock bag and pour in the soy marinate. Seal the bag and place the bag onto a perforated tray and into a pre-heated oven steam setting 65 °C for 35 minutes.
Slice the corn in half and set aside with picked coriander sprigs.
Once the fish is cooked adjust the temperature of the oven to 100 °C steam setting. Remove the fish from the tray and place the corn on the tray and into the oven for 7 minutes.
Once the corn is cooked remove it from the oven and mix it with the picked coriander, salt and evoo.
Place the corn on a serving dish and open the bag and pour off some of the poaching liquid. Place the fish on top of the corn and pour over a little of the poaching liquid. Finish with a drizzle of evoo and serve.
