Burmese Breakfast Stew Recipe

lemongrass, peeled, bruised

kosher salt,

Preheat the oven to 350 F. Lay out the uncooked rice evenly on a sheet pan and toast in the oven until the rice is golden brown, 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes. Allow the toasted rice to cool to room temperature then grind to a powder in a spice grinder. Set aside.

Meanwhile, make the broth: In a 4-quart stockpot, add the water, black and white peppercorns, bay leaves, lemongrass and ginger, and season lightly with salt. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes.

Carefully lower the fish fillets into the pot. The fish may not be covered completely with water, but that's okay. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook the fish gently for 15 minutes. Using tongs and a slotted spoon, carefully lift the fish out of the broth and reserve for later.

Strain the broth, rinse the pot and pour the broth back into the pot. Heat over medium heat and bring to a simmer. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered rice and a ladleful of broth until no lumps remain. Stir the mixture into the broth and bring to a simmer until it barely thickens.

Meanwhile, make the soup: In a wok or large skillet, heat the oil over high heat. Add the lemongrass, garlic and ginger, and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add the cooked fish, paprika and turmeric, and mash into a paste using the back of a spoon, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour the contents into the broth and bring to a simmer. Add the red onions and fish sauce, and cook for 10 minutes. Season with salt and keep hot until ready to serve.

Meanwhile, cook the noodles: Bring a separate pot of water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook until tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain the noodles in a colander and rinse under cool water. Shake off any excess water and divide the noodles among 4 bowls. Ladle the soup over the noodles and top each bowl with cilantro, a hard-boiled egg, lime wedges and thinly sliced red onion. Then serve.

U.S. Farm-Raised Catfish fillets

lemon pepper seasoning

Heat a large skillet over medium heat.

Cut several pieces of aluminum foil or parchment paper into 9 x 12-inch rectangles.

Lay each piece down flat and lightly coat one side with cooking spray.

Lightly sprinkle one teaspoon of lemon pepper seasoning over the coated side of the foil. Spray the foil or parchment paper again with the cooking spray to hold the seasoning in place.

Gently place a fish fillet on one side of the foil. Carefully fold the other half of the foil over the fish. Pat the foil to get all the lemon pepper seasoning onto the fish. The fold up the edges of the foil.

Working in batches, place the foil packets into the heated skillet. The bottom of the foil packets need to touch the bottom of the skillet, so be sure not to overcrowd the skillet.

Cook the fish fillets for seven minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. You do not have the flip the fish.

Remove the fish from the foil and serve.
