Pla Tod Gratiem | Crispy Thai Garlic Fish

Place the jasmine rice in a sieve, rinse thoroughly with cold water, and cook in lightly salted water according to the package instructions until al dente. Then keep warm.

Rinse the cod fillets under cold water, pat carefully dry with paper towels, and cut into bite-sized pieces. Peel and finely chop the garlic cloves. Cut the lime into wedges.

In a bowl, mix together the fish sauce, soy sauce, cane sugar, and ground black pepper. Gently coat the fish pieces in the mixture and let marinate for approx. 5 minutes. Then toss the marinated fish pieces evenly in the cornstarch, lightly tapping off any excess.
