Cooking instructions
Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.
Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ gas 7
Cut your potatoes (skins on) into fries and add them to a large baking tray (or two!)
Add a drizzle of vegetable oil and a generous pinch of salt and pepper and give everything a good mix up
Put the tray[s] in the oven for 25-30 min or until golden and crisp
Meanwhile pat your basa fillet[s] dry with kitchen paper
Chop the basa fillet[s] in half widthways
Coat the chopped basa evenly in your red Thai curry paste
Add 2 tbsp [3 tbsp] [4 tbsp] flour to a plate with a generous pinch of salt
Press the chopped basa into the flour firmly to evenly coat all over
Meanwhile, peel and dice half your shallot[s]
Finely slice the remaining shallot
Add the diced shallot to a bowl with your rice vinegar and a pinch of salt and sugar – this is your quick-pickled shallot
Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a drizzle of vegetable oil over a medium-high heat
Once hot, add the remaining sliced shallot and cook for 2-3 min or until crispy – this is your crispy shallot
Once crispy, transfer them to a small bowl or plate and reserve the pan
Chop your coriander finely, including the stalks
Top, tail, peel and grate your carrot[s] and roughly chop your roasted peanuts
Add the grated carrot, chopped coriander and chopped roasted peanuts to the quick-pickled shallot and mix to combine – this is your quick-pickled Asian-style slaw
Combine your mayo and sriracha (can't handle the heat? Go easy!) in a small bowl – this is your sriracha mayo
Wipe the reserved pan clean and return it to a high heat
Slice your brioche bun[s] in half (if required!)
Once hot, add the brioche halves, cut-side down, and cook for 3 min or until coloured and charred on one side only
Once charred, remove and set aside until serving
Return the pan to a high heat with a drizzle of vegetable oil
Once hot, add the coated basa fillet[s], reduce the heat to medium-high and cook for 4-5 min on each side or until cooked through and lightly crisp – this is your Thai-style basa
Tip: Your fish is cooked once it turns opaque and flakes easily
To assemble, add a little sriracha mayo to the charred brioche bun base and top with the Thai-style basa, crispy shallot, some of the quick-pickled Asian-style slaw and a charred brioche bun lid
Serve with the crispy fries, the remaining quick-pickled Asian-style slaw and sriracha mayo to the side
Enjoy!
