Ingredients you'll need
  • 2 trout fillets
  • 2 nests of buckwheat ramen noodles
  • 1 chilli
  • 40g tahini
  • 2 tbsp tamari
  • 1 tbsp brown rice vinegar
  • A bunch of spring onions
  • 200g kale
From your kitchen
  • 1 tbsp + 2 tsp sunflower, olive or coconut oil
  • 1 tbsp cold water
You'll need
  • Baking tray
  • Medium pan with lid
  • Colander
  • Frying pan or wok
Step by step this way
  • 1.

    Preheat your grill to its highest setting. Fill and boil your kettle. Lay the trout fillets on a foil-lined baking tray and rub 1 tsp oil and some salt and pepper into each. Set to one side.

  • 2.

    Pour the hot water from the kettle into a medium pan then bring back to the boil. Add a pinch of salt and pepper then carefully add the buckwheat ramen noodles. Simmer for 3-4 mins till tender then drain and rinse under cold water. Set aside.

  • 3.

    While the noodles are cooking, halve the chilli and flick out the seeds (keep them for later if you want to add more of a kick). Finely chop the chilli and add it to a small bowl. Mix in the tahini, 2 tbsp tamari, and 1 tbsp each brown rice vinegar and cold water.

  • 4.

    Finely shred the kale, discarding any thick or dry stalks. Trim the spring onions and thinly slice them. Set a pinch of the green parts to one side.

  • 5.

    Slide the trout under the grill for 4-6 mins, or till the fish is cooked through. Check by pressing the thickest part of the fillet with the back of a fork – it should flake easily and be opaque. Cook it a little longer if not.

  • 6.

    Warm a large wok or frying pan on a high heat for 1 min, then pour in 1 tbsp oil. Add the kale and spring onions and fry on a high heat for 2-3 min till the veg is softened and slightly charred. Tip in the noodles and toss together then pour in the tahini mixture. Toss everything together for a couple of mins, till the noodles have warmed through and everything is coated in the sauce.

  • 7.

    Remove the trout from under the grill if you haven't already. Divide the noodles and veg between 2 warm plates, topped with a trout fillet each, the reserved spring onion greens and the remaining tamari on the side for drizzling.
