How to Tell When Fish is Cooked

Method

  • 1. Place noodles in a large heatproof bowl. Cover with boiling water. Set aside 5 minutes, or until tender. Drain well.

  • 2. Heat oil in a large saucepan on medium. Add curry paste and cook, stirring, for 1 minute, until fragrant.

  • 3. Blend in stock and coconut milk. Simmer gently 4-5 minutes. Add fish, bok choy stems and baby corn. Simmer 2-3 minutes, or until fish is just cooked through.

  • 4. Add fish sauce and sugar, then stir. Add bok choy leaves and remove from heat.

  • 5. Divide noodles among serving bowls and ladle over the soup. Top with a small amount of bean sprouts, coriander and chilli, to serve. Accompany with lime wedges.
