Ingredients

Step by Step Instructions

  • 250 grams fresh egg noodles (or gluten-free noodles)
  • 2 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds
  • Coconut oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, peeled & finely sliced
  • 6 cm fresh ginger, peeled & finely sliced
  • 2 fresh red chillies, finely sliced
  • 100 grams mangetout
  • ½ red or yellow bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 litre hot fish, vegetable or chicken stock
  • 600 grams white fish, skinned & cut into chunks
  • Soy sauce (or g/f tamari or coconut aminos)
  • Juice of 2 limes
  • Large bunch of fresh coriander, leaves only
Step 1

Cook the noodles in boiling water according to pack instructions, then drain and toss in a little sesame oil before dividing between four serving bowls. Sprinkle each bowl with a generous pinch of sesame seeds.

Step 2

Heat a large frying pan or wok over a medium heat and add a tablespoon of coconut oil.  Stir fry the garlic, ginger and chillies for a few minutes, until softened and then add the mangetout and bell pepper for a further minute.

Step 3

Add the hot stock and bring to the boil.  Drop in the fish pieces, cook for a minute, then turn off the heat and season with soy sauce and freshly ground black pepper.

Step 4

Spoon the broth over the noodles, then drizzle each bowl with the juice of half a lime and add a generous handful of coriander leaves.
