Ingredients
FISH TOM KHA GAI
- 1 shallot, finely diced
- ½ pack Swiss brown mushrooms, thinly sliced
- 1½ tablespoons red curry paste
- 1 can coconut milk (shake well before opening)
- ½ cup water
- 1 kaffir lime leaf, central stem removed and finely sliced
- 2 teaspoons fish sauce
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 1–1½ teaspoons soy sauce
- 2 bundles dried udon noodles
- 2 baby bok choy, thinly sliced
- 300g fish fillets
- Juice of 1 lemon
TO SERVE
- 1–2 spring onions
- ¼ cup picked coriander leaves
- 80–100g whole roasted peanuts
Steps
-
a medium pot of salted water to the boil.
-
Heat a drizzle of oil in a medium fry-pan on low-medium heat. Cook shallot and mushrooms for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft. Add curry paste and cook a further 30 seconds, stirring, until fragrant.
-
Add coconut milk, water, kaffir lime leaf, fish sauce, sugar and soy sauce. Bring to a simmer, then continue to simmer gently for 5 minutes. While sauce simmers, prepare udon noodles.
-
Place udon noodles in pot of boiling water. Stir well to separate strands and cook for 6 minutes. Add bok choy and cook a further 1 minute, until noodles are cooked and bok choy is just tender. Drain and return to the pot with a drizzle of olive oil to avoid noodles sticking together.
-
While noodles are cooking, pat fish dry with paper towels and remove any remaining scales or bones. Cut fish into 2–3cm pieces then add to the pan with curry, making sure fish is submerged. Cover with a lid and simmer gently for 3–5 minutes, until fish is just cooked through.
-
Remove curry from heat and stir through lemon juice. Thinly slice spring onions on an angle and roughly chop coriander and peanuts.
-
Divide noodles and baby bok choy between bowls. Spoon over Fish Tom Kha Gai and garnish with spring onions, coriander and peanuts.
