👨‍🍳 作り方

1
Prepare the fish stuffing: Mix half of the chopped garlic with chopped parsley, salt, pepper, and optional chili flakes. Make slits in the fish and stuff with this mixture.
💡 プロのコツ: This stuffing adds a burst of flavor directly into the fish.
2
Heat vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add diced onion and remaining chopped garlic, sauté until softened and translucent.
⏱️ 5-7 minutes
3
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1-2 minutes until it darkens slightly. Add the 2 liters of water and stir well to combine.
⏱️ 1-2 minutes
4
Add the prepared vegetables (carrots, cabbage, sweet potato) and the stuffed fish to the pot. Add whole chili peppers if using. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 35-40 minutes, or until fish is cooked through and vegetables are tender.
⏱️ 35-40 minutes
5
Carefully remove the fish and vegetables from the pot and set aside on a platter. Reserve about 2 cups of the cooking liquid.
💡 プロのコツ: Keep the fish and vegetables warm while you cook the rice.
6
Return the remaining cooking liquid to a boil. Add the washed rice, season with salt and pepper if needed. Cover, reduce heat to low, and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice has absorbed all the liquid and is tender.
⏱️ 20-25 minutes
7
Serve the cooked rice, topped with the fish and vegetables. The reserved cooking liquid can be served on the side as a sauce.
