  • Turmeric Powder – 1 tbsp
  • Medium Curry Powder – 1 tsp, packed
  • Maple Syrup – 2 tbsp + 1 tsp
  • Rice Vinegar – 2 tbsp
  • Garlic Powder – 1/8 tsp
  • Fresh Red Chili Pepper – 1 pc, finely minced
  • Method

    – Place the noodles in a large bowl and pour in enough boiling water to cover. Leave for 5 minutes, then drain and drizzle with oil to prevent sticking. Use some scissors to cut into manageable size and set aside.

    – Make the marinade; combine 2 of the spring onions, garlic cloves, half the fish sauce, turmeric, curry powder, 1 teaspoon of the maple syrup, half the oil and the finely chopped dill either with a pestle and mortar or in a food processor to create a paste.

    – Pour the marinade into a large bowl, add the fish and toss to combine so that all the fish is thoroughly coated. Set aside.

    – Make the sauce with the remaining maple syrup, remaining fish sauce, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, red chili and half the lime juice. Whisk to combine, then set aside.

    – Heat the remaining oil in a large pan over medium high heat. Add the fish, along with the marinade and spread them out in the pan. Leave to cook on one side for 2 – 3 minutes, then flip them over. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of water, then cover and leave to cook for another 2 minutes.

    – Toss in the remaining spring onions and remaining dill until just softened. Add the remaining lime juice and take off the heat.

    – Transfer the noodles to a serving platter and top with the fish mixture. Drizzle with the dressing and serve immediately.
