Ingredients
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon mirin
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1/2 teaspoon Sriracha
4 ounces shiitake mushrooms (about 12), stemmed and cut into 1/4-inch strips
4 ounces shiitake mushrooms (about 12), stemmed and cut into 1/4-inch strips
4 radishes, sliced into 1/8-inch-thick rounds
Two 6-ounce flounder fillets, each cut in half (to fit in the dish)
6 ounces snow peas, trimmed and strings removed
6 ounces snow peas, trimmed and strings removed
1/2 lemon
1 scallion, green part only, thinly sliced
1 cup cooked brown rice, for serving
Directions
- Mix together the soy sauce, mirin, sesame oil, ginger and Sriracha.
- Toss the shiitakes and radishes in a microwave-safe 8-by-8-by-2-inch baking dish. Place the fillets on top in a single layer. Pour the soy sauce mixture over the fillets. Cover tightly with plastic wrap; make a small slit in the center with the tip of a paring knife to vent excess steam. Microwave on high (at 100 percent power) until the fillets are opaque white, 4 minutes in an 1,100-watt oven or 6 minutes in a 700-watt oven. Let stand, covered, for 2 minutes to steam and finish cooking gently.
- Meanwhile, place the snow peas in a microwave-safe medium bowl. Cover tightly with plastic wrap; make a small slit in the center. Microwave on high (at 100 percent power) until the snow peas have turned bright green but are still crisp, 1 1/2 minutes in an 1,100-watt oven or 2 1/2 minutes in a 700-watt oven. (When removing the plastic wrap, be careful to avoid the hot steam.)
- Divide the snow peas between two plates. Top with the shiitakes, radishes and fillets. Drizzle any sauce left in the baking dish over the fish. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the fillets, and garnish with scallions. Serve with brown rice.
