2 chilli
200g cavolo nero
4 tbsp honey
4 tbsp tamari
4 tbsp brown rice vinegar

You'll need

Baking dish
Deep frying pan or wok
Medium pan

Step by step this way

1.
Heat your oven to 180°C/Fan 160°C/Gas 4. Fill your kettle and boil it. Peel and finely slice the ginger and garlic. Finely slice the chilli, flicking out most of the seeds. Finely shred the cavolo nero, discarding the dry ends.
2.
Pour 2 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp tamari and 1 tbsp brown rice vinegar into a small bowl. Whisk well. Place the cod fillets in a small baking dish, skin-side down. Pour the marinade over the fish and slide the dish into the oven.
3.
Bake the cod for 12 mins till cooked through. Halfway through the cooking time, spoon the marinade in the dish over the cod to glaze it.
4.
While the cod cooks, pour 1 tbsp each of tamari and brown rice vinegar into a deep frying pan or wok. Add 100ml cold water and the sliced ginger, garlic and chilli. Simmer for 5 mins to make an infused broth.
5.
Drop the shredded cavolo nero into the simmering broth and cook for 3-4 mins, stirring often, till just wilted.
6.
Meanwhile, put the noodles into a pan and pour over enough boiling water to cover. Simmer for 3 mins. Drain and rinse under cold water. Drizzle in 1 tsp oil to stop them sticking together too much. Add to the broth and stir to coat the noodles in it.
7.
Divide the cod, noodles and greens between a couple of warm plates, drizzled with the tamari broth to serve.
