Directions:
Rice: Heat a drizzle of oil in a small pot over medium-high heat. Add 1 Tbsp. ginger. Cook stirring until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add rice, 3/4 cup water, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a low simmer. Cook covered, until rice is tender, 15-18 mins. Keep covered off heat until ready to serve. Cook green beans and season with butter, salt, and pepper.
While rice cooks prepare the scallion pesto: Wash, peel, and finely chop the scallions. In a medium bowl combine the scallions, sesame oil, half the sesame seeds, 1 T. olive oil, 1 tsp. grated ginger, sugar, juice from half the lime, and gochujang sauce to taste. Season with salt and pepper.
Pat Talapia dry with a paper towel, and season with salt and pepper. Heat a large drizzle of oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add Tilapia and cook until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes per side. Turn off the heat.
Fluff rice with a fork and season to taste. Divide rice and green beans on two plates. Arrange tilapia over rice and scallion pesto over the tilapia. Add soy or lime to taste.
