Preparation

  1. Step 1 Prepare slaw

    To a mixing bowl, add the kohlrabi, jalapeno, cilantro, green onions,  citrus zests, and juices, pomegranate, and sugar. Stir to combine. Season with salt to taste. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

  2. Step 2 Make crema

    To a blender, add the sour cream, cilantro, lime juice, milk, garlic powder, and salt. Whirl until smooth. Add more milk if needed to achieve a pourable consistency. Set aside.

  3. Step 3 Assemble bowls

    Place ¼ of the steamed rice in the bottom of a serving bowl.  Top with ¼ of the shredded cabbage and carrot. Chop three fish sticks into bite-sized pieces and place them atop the cabbage. Top the fish with a generous amount of kohlrabi slaw. Drizzle with cilantro crema. Sprinkle with crushed tortilla chips. Repeat with the remaining three bowls. Serve promptly.
