Ingredients you'll need
  • A bunch of spring onions
  • 1 red pepper
  • A handful of coriander
  • 1 tbsp Thai red curry paste
  • 200ml coconut milk
  • 2 bundles of Thai rice noodles
  • 340g fish pie mix
From your kitchen
  • ½ tbsp coconut, sunflower or olive oil
  • 200ml boiling water
  • Sea salt
You'll need
  • 2 large pans with lids
  • Measuring jug
Step by step this way
  • 1.

    Fill your kettle and boil it. Trim the roots and any dry tops off the spring onions, then chop the onions into 2-3cm long chunks. Halve the red pepper and scoop out the seeds and white pith, then roughly chop the pepper. Pick the coriander leaves off their stalks and set them aside. Finely chop the coriander stalks.

  • 2.

    Set a large pan on a medium heat and add ½ tbsp oil and 1 tbsp Thai red curry paste. Fry, stirring, for 2 mins. Add the spring onions and red pepper and fry, stirring often, for 5 mins.

  • 3.

    Pour the coconut milk into the pan, then add 200ml hot water from the kettle. Pop a lid on the pan, bring to the boil, then turn the heat down and simmer for 3-4 mins.

  • 4.

    While the Thai red curry sauce comes to the boil, fill another pan with hot water from the kettle, topping it up with extra water if necessary. Cover with a lid and bring to the boil. As soon as the water is boiling, add 2 bundles of rice noodles. Simmer for 2-3 mins, till tender. Drain and divide the noodles between 2 large bowls.

  • 5.

    Add the fish pie mix to the Thai red curry sauce. Simmer for 3-4 mins till the fish pieces are cooked – they will be opaque and flake easily when pressed with a fork.

  • 6.

    Taste the Thai red curry sauce and add a pinch of salt if you think it needs it. Ladle the fish curry over the noodles, garnish with the coriander leaves, and serve.

  • Tip

    Use your noodles
    You can use all 3 bundles of noodles in this recipe if you like, though this will affect the nutritional information. Otherwise, your extra noodles will keep in the cupboard till you’re ready to cook with them – you could simmer and toss them into a stir-fry, or toss them with sesame oil, seeds and some fresh veg to make salad. And, of course, you can head over to abelandcole.co.uk/recipes for oodles of noodly inspiration.
