Boneless fish

Use same weight, cut into chunks and simmer gently for 5–8 minutes; firm fish holds together well.

Use same weight and cook gently for 5–8 minutes; skinless fillet gives a cleaner texture.

Use same weight but handle very gently, as some fillets break up; simmer 5 minutes only.

Use same weight, add in the last 8 minutes; it will not flake like fish but suits a masala curry.

Press firm tofu, use same weight and simmer 5 minutes only; handle gently to avoid breaking.

Use same weight, sauté first and simmer 10 minutes; it gives a savoury bite but not fish flavour.
