Cooking instructions

Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.

1.

Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ Gas 7

Boil a kettle

Pat your basa fillet[s] dry with kitchen paper and add them to a baking tray (or two!) (use tin foil to avoid mess!)

Spread your miso evenly over the basa fillet[s] with the back of a teaspoon

Step 1
2.

Sprinkle all your sesame seeds over the basa fillet[s] and press down firmly with your hand so that they stick

Drizzle the fish with vegetable oil and put the tray[s] in the oven for 12-15 min or until cooked through – this is your sesame-crusted basa

Tip: your fish is cooked when it turns opaque and flakes easily!

Step 2

Meanwhile, add your wholewheat noodles to a pot and cover with boiled water until fully submerged

Bring to the boil over a high heat and cook for 5 min

Step 3
4.

Meanwhile, peel (scrape the skin off with a teaspoon) and finely chop (or grate) your ginger

Add the chopped ginger to a bowl with your soy sauce, red chilli relish, chilli flakes (can't handle the heat? Go easy!), 1 tbsp [1 1/2 tbsp] [2 tbsp] vegetable oil and the juice of half your lime[s]

Give everything a good old mix up – this is your sweet chilli dressing

Step 4
5.

Once the noodles have been cooking for 5 min, add your Tenderstem broccoli and cook for 2 min further, or until everything's tender with a slight bite

Once cooked, drain everything and return it to the pot

Step 5

Trim, then slice your spring onion[s]
