spicy tilapia / korean-style green beans with pancetta / brown rice

Contents of your meal kit:

tilapia
cremini mushrooms
green beans
pancetta
scallion
spicy korean sauce
brown rice

Cookware needed: foil-lined baking sheet, medium or large nonstick skillet (with lid)

Finishing steps:

  1. Preheat oven to 425.
  2. Using a damp paper towel, wipe mushrooms of any dirt. Thinly slice and set aside.
  3. Trim stem end of green beans if needed. On a foil-lined baking sheet, toss green beans, sliced mushrooms, and pancetta with olive oil and a little black pepper. Place in the preheated oven, and set a timer for 10 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, thinly slice scallion.
  5. When the 10-minute timer is up, begin the fish. Season both sides of tilapia with salt & pepper. Heat a small amount of oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. When oil is hot, add fish and cook 3-5 minutes or until golden brown. Gently turn fish with a spatula, sprinkle with sliced scallion and drizzle spicy korean sauce over the top of the fish. Cover with a lid and cook another 3-5 minutes depending on thickness. Test fish for doneness, then remove from heat.
  6. While fish cooks, transfer brown rice to a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second intervals until hot. Check the green beans, and remove from the oven when the beans are tender and the mushrooms are golden brown.
  7. When everything is ready, divide korean-style green beans and brown rice between plates. Top with spicy tilapia, and enjoy!
