  • Carefully place fish in coconut milk mixture in saucepan. Cook fish, covered, 5 minutes. Uncover; gently stir in bok choy. Cook 3 to 5 minutes more or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Ladle fish, bok choy and cooking liquid into bowls. Top with lime peel and additional chile pepper.

Tips

Tip: Because chile peppers contain volatile oils that can burn your skin and eyes, avoid direct contact with them as much as possible. When working with chile peppers, wear plastic or rubber gloves. If your bare hands do touch the peppers, wash your hands and nails well with soap and warm water.
