  16

Serves 4-6

• 2tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2small onions, thinly sliced
• 5cloves garlic, thinly sliced
• 2tablespoons minced peeled fresh ginger (from a 2-inch knob)
• 2medium carrots, peeled and cut into thin slices on the diagonal
• 2tablespoons curry powder
• 1/2teaspoon cayenne pepper (or to taste)
• 2teaspoons salt
• 2/3cups mirin or white wine
• 114-ounce can coconut milk
• 1 1/2pound waxy potatoes (red or Yukon Gold), peeled and cut into 11⁄2-inch pieces
• 6bunches baby bok choy, washed and trimmed (or use 1 batch regular bok choy, cut into bite-sized pieces)
• 1 1/2pound hake, catfish, cod, or tilapia or other mild white fish, cut into 8 pieces
• 2limes: 1 juiced, 1 quartered
• 1. Heat the oil in a lidded pot over medium-low heat. Add the onions, garlic, and ginger; cook until soft but not browned, 8 minutes. Add the carrots and cook for another minute.
  2. Sprinkle in the curry powder and cayenne, and cook for 1 minute, or until fragrant. Add the salt and mirin, and bring to a boil. Let it simmer for 3 minutes, until slightly reduced. Pour in the coconut milk and 2 cups water, and bring to a boil.
  3. Add the potatoes, return the liquid to a boil, and then turn the heat to low and cover the pot. Simmer for 10 to 12 minutes, until the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork. (You can make the stew ahead to this point.)
  4. Add the bok choy and toss to distribute. Then add the fish pieces and arrange them so they are fully covered by the liquid. Cover the pot and simmer for 4 minutes, until the fish is cooked through but not falling apart. Add the lime juice to the stew.
  5. Ladle the fish, vegetables, and broth into bowls, and garnish with the lime quarters
