Method

  1. 1

    Toss the fish chunks with the turmeric, ginger, garlic and fish sauce and set aside to marinate briefly.

  2. 2

    Cook the rice noodles according to the packet instructions, then drain and set aside.

  3. 3

    Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat and fry the fish for 4–5 minutes, turning gently, until golden and cooked through.

  4. 4

    Add the spring onions and dill to the pan and toss for 1 minute until wilted.

  5. 5

    Season to taste, then serve the fish and dill over the rice noodles, scattered with chopped peanuts and coriander, with a squeeze of lime.

Use up the rest

Cooking this for one leaves 20 g coriander, 6 spring onions and 80 g white fish fillet. These recipes finish them off, so plan one later in the same week.

Good with the rest of your week
