2 tbsp coconut oil
1 shallot, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
10g coriander, stalks finely chopped, leaves picked
1 red chilli, finely chopped
20g ginger, finely chopped
1 lemongrass stalk, bashed and tied in a knot
5g turmeric, grated, or 1 tsp ground turmeric
1 tsp coriander seeds, lightly bashed
3 lime leaves
400ml coconut milk
2 tsp palm sugar
2 tbsp fish sauce
2 limes, 1 juiced, 1 cut into wedges to serve
250g Norwegian cod loin fillets
300g mixed stir-fry vegetables (ours contained long-stemmed broccoli, pak choi and baby corn)
2 x 150g straight-to-wok udon noodles

Method

STEP 1
Put a deep wok or frying pan over a medium heat. Gently melt the coconut oil and, once hot, cook the shallot for 3-4 mins or until beginning to soften. Add the garlic, coriander stalks, chilli, ginger, lemongrass and turmeric, and cook for 5-6 mins, stirring all the while.
STEP 2
Add the coriander seeds and lime leaves, and cook for another 2-3 mins. Pour in the coconut milk and bring to a simmer. Sprinkle in the palm sugar, fish sauce and lime juice.
STEP 3
Put the veg in the pan and cook for 3-4 mins. Season the cod lightly with salt, then lay in the pan. Put on a lid and cook for 3-4 mins or until the cod is just cooked through but the vegetables retain a bite.
STEP 4
Divide the noodles between two bowls and pour over the hot broth. Sprinkle with coriander leaves and serve with more lime wedges to squeeze over.
