Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup peeled minced gingerroot
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or 1 chopped Hawaiian chili pepper)
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 1 lb fish fillet ('ahi)
  • 1 small onion, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1/2 lb coarsely chopped baby bok choy
  • 1/2 cup chinese snow peas, trimmed

Method

  • In a bowl, mix the soy sauce, ginger, garlic and chili pepper with 1 teaspoon sesame oil.
  • Place the 'ahi in a bowl and mix with half the soy mixture.
  • Cover and let stand for 20 minutes at room temperature.
  • Heat a large nonstick frying pan over high heat and coat the pan with 1 teaspoon sesame oil and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Stir-fry the onion and bell pepper, about 4 minutes.
  • Add the bok choy and snow peas, toss for another 2 minutes.
  • Stir in the rest of the soy mixture. Cook for another minute.
  • Push the vegetables to one side of the pan and, over high heat, stir-fry the 'ahi with its sauce for about 2 minutes.
  • Remove immediately (you want to just sear the 'ahi on the outside) and serve with vegetables underneath and 'ahi on top.
  • Steamed rice would be great, too, but count the calories and limit the portion size.
