Ingredients
- 400g hokkien noodles
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 spring onions, thinly sliced
- 4 garlic cloves, grated or finely chopped
- Thumb-sized piece ginger, grated or finely chopped
- 1 long red chilli, thinly sliced
- 1 stick lemongrass, bruised
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons turmeric
- 400mL tin reduced-fat coconut milk
- 500mL reduced-salt vegetable stock
- 400g thick white fish, cut into 3cm cubes
- 2 cups snow peas, trimmed
- 2 tablespoons macadamias, roughly chopped
- 2 cups beans sprouts
- ¼ bunch mint, leaves picked
Method
- Place noodles in a large bowl and cover with boiled water for 3-4 minutes or until easily separated with a fork. Drain and set aside.
- Heat oil in a large wok or frying pan over medium-high heat. Add white part of the spring onions, garlic, ginger, chilli and lemongrass. Cook, stirring, for 2-3 minutes or until fragrant. Stir in the fish sauce, brown sugar and turmeric until dissolved. Add the coconut milk and chicken stock and stir to combine.
- Bring the soup broth to a simmer. Add the fish and cook for 3-4 minutes or until just cooked. Add snow peas and macadamias for the last minute of cooking.
- Divide noodles, fish and snow peas between serving bowls. Pour over soup broth. Top with bean sprouts, mint leaves and green part of spring onions.
Cooking Tip: Adding macadamias towards the end of cooking creates a thick, luscious soup broth. For extra flavour, trying toasting the macadamias first.
Nutrition Tip: Most of us don’t eat fish regularly enough. White fish is a good source of protein, and is low in saturated fat making it beneficial for heart health.
