Before You Start
Trim the green beans and quarter the bok choy so the thick stems cook through.
How To Make It
- Simmer the water, lime juice, fish sauce, ginger, and garlic in a wide pan for 2 minutes until fragrant.
- Slide in the tilapia, cover, and poach for 7 minutes until the fish flakes easily and reaches 145°F.
- Lift the tilapia onto a plate and keep it warm.
- Add the green beans to the broth and steam covered for 6 minutes until crisp tender and bright.
- Add the bok choy and cook for 3 minutes until the stems soften and the leaves wilt.
- Spoon the vegetables and broth over the fish and finish with fresh cilantro.
Fix It: If the broth reduces too far, add a splash of water so there is enough to steam the vegetables.
Air Fryer
- Heat the air fryer to 380F.
- Add the ingredients you would cook on the stove or in the oven in a single layer, without crowding the basket.
- Cook for about 16 minutes, shaking the basket halfway, until cooked through and lightly crisp.
- Let it rest a minute, then finish and plate the dish as written in the steps above.
Microwave
- Add the ingredients you would cook together to a microwave safe bowl along with their liquid.
- Cover loosely and microwave in one minute bursts, stirring between each, until hot through.
- Let it stand for a minute, then finish and plate the dish as written in the steps above.
