Nutrition per serve

Ingredients

• 1pcs carrot
• 1pcs spring onion
• 1clove garlic
• 1pcs ginger
• 40ml mirin
• 280g basa centre-cut portions
• 200g cabbage
• 1pcs pak choy
• 150g egg noodles
• 10g toasted sesame seeds
• 38ml soy sauce
• 30ml white vinegar
• 15ml neutral-flavoured oil

Method

1. Step 1 — Prep ingredients
   Bring a medium saucepan of water to the boil for the noodles. Halve the carrot lengthwise, then thinly slice on an angle. Thinly slice the spring onion. Crush or finely chop the garlic. Peel and finely grate the ginger (remove soft ginger skin easily - simply scrape with a teaspoon and lift off).
2. Step 2 — Prep sauce
   Combine the mirin, 2½ tbs soy sauce, 2 tbs white vinegar and 125ml (½ cup) water in a bowl.
3. Step 3 — Cook fish
   Heat 2 tsp oil in a medium deep frypan over medium-high heat. Cook the carrot, stirring, for 3-4 mins until softened. Add the garlic, ginger and half the spring onion and cook, stirring, for 1 min or until fragrant. Stir in the sauce, then add the fish to the pan and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and cook, covered, for 8-9 mins until the fish is just cooked.
4. Step 4 — Stir-fry vegetables
   While the fish is cooking, thinly slice the cabbage and pak choy. Heat 2 tsp oil in a medium frypan over high heat. Stir-fry the cabbage for 2-3 mins until slightly charred. Add the pak choy and stir-fry for 1-2 mins until tender.
5. Step 5 — Cook noodles
   Meanwhile, cook the noodles in the pan of boiling water for 2 mins or until tender. Drain, then rinse under hot water to prevent the noodles from sticking.
6. Step 6 — Get ready to serve
   Carefully remove the fish from the pan and cover to keep warm. Increase the heat to high and cook the sauce for 2 mins or until slightly reduced. Add the noodles and vegetables to the sauce and toss to coat. Flake the fish into large chunks. Divide the noodle mixture and fish among bowls. Scatter with the sesame seeds and remaining spring onion to serve.
