Ingredients:
Instructions:
1. Rinse the brown rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
2. Place the rice in a medium-sized saucepan and add 4 cups of water.
3. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
4. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 40-45 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.
5. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork before serving.
1. In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, honey, finely chopped red chili peppers, orange juice, and finely chopped shallots. Mix well to ensure the honey is thoroughly dissolved.
1. Place the fish pieces in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish.
2. Pour the marinade over the fish, making sure all pieces are well-coated.
3. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap.
4. Refrigerate and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, ideally 1 hour, to allow the flavors to infuse.
1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
2. Thread the marinated fish pieces onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.
3. Reserve the marinade for basting.
1. Place the kebabs on the preheated grill.
2. Grill for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
3. Baste with the remaining marinade during grilling for extra flavor.
1. Serve the grilled fish kebabs hot over a bed of fluffy brown rice.
2. Optionally, garnish with fresh herbs like cilantro or green onions and an extra squeeze of lime for added freshness.
Tips:
- Marinate the fish: Allow the fish to marinate in the mixture of soy sauce, honey, orange juice, shallots, and chili peppers for at least 30 minutes to fully absorb the flavors.
- Use skewers properly: If you are using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before threading the fish. This prevents them from burning during grilling.
- Cook evenly: When grilling or broiling, make sure the kebabs are turned frequently to ensure even cooking and avoid burning.
- Check fish doneness: Fish cooks quickly. Keep an eye on the kebabs and cook until the fish becomes opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
- Serve immediately: For the best experience, serve the fish kebabs hot immediately after cooking, along with the freshly steamed brown rice.
This recipe for chilli, honey, and soy fish kebabs with brown rice is not only easy to prepare but also bursts with incredible flavors. The tender, marinated fish and the wholesome brown rice make a perfect match for a satisfying meal. Enjoy the perfect harmony of spice, sweetness, and umami with every bite.
