10. Remove from the oven, then leave to stand for 5-7 minutes without removing the lid.
11. Take off the lid, remove the skin from the fish and immediately add the grated egg, spring onions and coriander.
12. Using two forks, gently mix the rice, while also breaking the fish into flakes and mixing everything else in as you go.
13. Remove the bay leaf and cover with a tea towel, and the lid.
14. Leave for a further 5 minutes to remove any excess steam.
15. Mix again lightly and serve directly from the dish onto hot plates.

Peeling ginger

There is no need to peel ginger. As a result of attending a Thai cookery demo, we have learnt that peeling ginger is unnecessary unless for aesthetic purposes as the skin is high in fibre and full of flavour. However, do remove any bits that have become tough or woody.
