Preparation

To make the sauce, heat a frying pan. Place the stock, coconut milk, lime leaves, bay leaf, fish sauce, soy sauce, palm sugar, red chilli and lemongrass into saucepan and reduce by half. Juice the limes and add to the sauce. Adjust the seasoning, strain and set aside for later.

Preheat oven to 180°C. Heat a heavy-based pan with the vegetable oil. Pan-fry the king fish on all sides for a couple of minutes. Transfer the fish to a baking tray and cook in the oven for approx. 8 minutes.

Heat another frying pan (or a wok), with the sesame oil. When hot add the cockles and the bok choy and fry on very high heat for 2 minutes. Add the five spice, Shao hsing and butter, and fry for a further minute. Adjust the seasoning to taste.

Divide the bok choy among the plates. Top with the fish and cockles. Drizzle the sauce over the plate to serve.
