- Add Tony Chachere’s Fish Fry Mix to a plate or shallow bowl. Sprinkle in all seasonings, except Tony Chachere’s Creole Seasoning.
- Add enough canola oil to a large Dutch oven or fryer, and heat to 350ºF.
- Once oil is heated, work in batches to thoroughly coat each fillet in the breading and carefully drop into the oil. Cook fillets for 6-8 minutes, or until they float to the top and are golden brown. Remove from the oil and set aside on a wire rack or over paper towels.
- Once the fish is fried, add olive oil to a skillet over medium-high heat. Once heated, add in the vegetables and sauté for 10 minutes or until they’re tender.
- Reduce heat to low and add in the cooked rice. Break apart and stir into the vegetables for 2-3 minutes.
- Add a fillet to the skillet and rough chop into the rice mixture.
- Stir in the soy sauce, fish sauce, and sesame oil.
- Add a serving of rice to a plate. Top with another fillet and garnish with green onions.
