Sea bass with noodles, pak choi, sesame oil and coriander

2 servings

75 minutes

Sea bass with noodles, pak choi, sesame oil, and coriander is a harmony of Japanese cuisine that combines tender fish, aromatic herbs, and balanced Eastern flavors. Soba noodles soaked in teriyaki and yellow bean sauce acquire a rich, slightly sweet taste, while pak choi and sprouts add freshness and texture. The sea bass, fried to a crispy golden crust, remains juicy inside, and the sesame oil and cilantro impart subtle nutty-spicy notes to the dish. This dish embodies the Japanese philosophy of balance and simplicity, making it perfect for a light yet rich dinner. Serving with lime enhances the citrus notes, making the flavor even more pronounced.
