45g palm sugar

50g soy sauce

200g rice wine vinegar

1 thumb ginger

1 lemongrass stalk

Method:

Warm all together until sugar has dissolved, cool completely before use.

Cure for 4 hours.

    Fish with Fennel Fern and Seeded Mustard

    Makes: Enough for each person to have 200g of fresh fish

    Notes: I tested this recipe with three commonly available NZ white fish.

    Ling which took 10 minutes plus resting 5.

    Gurnard and Tarakihi both took 7 minutes plus resting. 

    The resting gives you a bit of wriggle room but look for fillets about the same size.  With the Ling for example I folded the tail of the fillets under to make them the same width as the fatter section of the fillet.
