Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in the microwave.

Substitutions: You can substitute the wombok with spinach or bok choy. For the fish, any firm white fish such as cod, haddock, or tilapia works well.

Tip: If you prefer a spicier kick, increase the amount of sliced red chilli or add a dash of Sriracha to the sauce mixture.

Safety: Ensure the fish is fully cooked before serving. The internal temperature should reach 145ðF (63ðC).
