    Directions

      Cook the Rice

      1. The Day-Before Method (Recommended): Combine rinsed jasmine rice, water, and a pinch of salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce to low, and cook for 12 minutes. Let stand, covered, for 10 minutes. Fluff, spread on a tray to release steam, and refrigerate overnight. This results in the best crispy texture.
      2. The Same-Day Method: Follow the cooking steps above. Once cooked and fluffed, spread the rice thinly on a large plate or baking sheet and place it in the freezer for 10 to 15 minutes or near an open window/fan to cool and dry out as much as possible before frying.

      Roast the Cauliflower

      1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss cauliflower with 3 teaspoons of oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a parchment-lined tray and place in the bottom half of the oven. Roast for 18 to 22 minutes until tender and browned.

      Glaze the Cod

      1. Pat the cod dry, cut it into portions, and place it on a parchment-lined small tray. Whisk soy sauce, maple syrup, neutral oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Brush over the cod and let it sit for 10 to 15 minutes.

      Make the Thai Peanut Curry Sauce

      1. Whisk peanut butter, red curry paste, coconut milk, soy sauce, maple syrup, and lime juice in a small saucepan over low heat. Add water 1 tablespoon at a time until the sauce is glossy and spoonable. Keep warm on low heat.

      Toast the Almonds

      1. Place almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring often, until golden. Remove from the pan.

      Roast the Cod

      1. When cauliflower has 8 minutes left, place the cod in the oven on an upper rack. Roast for 7 to 10 minutes until opaque and flaky.

      Cook the Snap Peas

      1. Toss peas with the remaining 1 teaspoon of oil and a pinch of salt. Add them to the cauliflower tray for the last 2 to 4 minutes of roasting.

      Make the Crispy Rice

      1. Divide your prepared rice in half. Keep one half aside to reheat gently (steamed or microwaved). 
      2. Reheating Soft Rice: To warm the remaining half of your rice, place it in a small saucepan with 1 to 2 teaspoons of water, cover, and warm over low heat for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring once or twice.
      3. Heat 2 teaspoons of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the other half of the rice, breaking it up gently, and press it into an even layer. Cook undisturbed for 5 to 7 minutes until the bottom is lightly golden and crisp.
      4. Ensure your skillet is hot before adding the rice to guarantee that golden, crunchy crust.

      Assemble

      1. Divide the soft and crispy rice between two bowls. Add cod, cauliflower, and peas. Drizzle with sauce and garnish with almonds, cilantro, scallions, chili, and lime.
