Cooking Steps
- Remove outer layer of lemongrass, then using the back of a spoon or a pot, gently hit lemongrass to lightly crush.
- Meanwhile, using a strainer, rinse rice until water runs clear.
- Add rice and lemongrass to the boiling water, then reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and cook until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 12-14 min. (NOTE: Reduce heat to low if water is boiling over.)
- Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.
- Meanwhile, trim green beans.
- Zest half the lime (use whole lime for 4 ppl).
- Cut lime into wedges.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over over medium-high.
- When hot, add green beans and 1/4 cup (1/2 cup) water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until water evaporates, 4-5 min.
- Add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, half the Thai Seasoning and half the ginger-garlic puree (use all for 4 ppl). Cook, stirring often, until fragrant and green beans are tender-crisp, 1 min. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Transfer to a plate, then cover to keep warm.
- Meanwhile, pat tilapia dry with paper towels. Season all over with remaining Thai Seasoning, salt and pepper.
- When beans are done, wipe the pan clean, then reduce heat to medium.
- When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil to the pan, then tilapia. Cook until tilapia is opaque and cooked through, 3-4 min per side.**
- Remove the pan from heat, then add sweet chili sauce, 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) water and fish sauce. Cook, until warmed through and sauce coats tilapia, 1 min.
- Remove lemongrass from rice, then fluff with a fork.
- Season rice with salt, to taste, then stir in lime zest.
- Divide rice, beans and tilapia between plates.
- Top tilapia with any remaining sauce from the pan.
