Method

6 steps
  1. 1Cook the rice with 1 3/4 cups water, covered on low heat, 15 minutes. Rest 10 minutes.
  2. 2Grind the chillies, garlic, ginger, cumin, pepper, whole spices, vinegar and tamarind to a smooth recheado paste.
  3. 3Simmer 2 tbsp of the paste with the soy, sugar and 3 tbsp water on low heat 4 minutes until syrupy.
  4. 4Rub the rest of the paste and salt to taste over the fillets. Heat the oil in a nonstick pan on medium heat and cook skin side down 4 minutes.
  5. 5Flip and cook 2 minutes on medium heat. Brush with glaze, flip again and glaze for 30 seconds a side until sticky and the fish flakes easily.
  6. 6Lay the fillets over bowls of rice, spoon over the remaining glaze, and finish with timur, pickled ginger, spring onion and sesame.
Serve it like this

Lay a glossy fillet diagonally across the rice in a lacquered box or deep bowl, drizzle the glaze in a thin line, then add a tidy heap of pickled ginger in one corner.
