Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

Before you start

Preheat the oven to 240C / fan 220C / gas mark 9
Bring a medium saucepan filled with salted water to a boil
Pull out a large saucepan, a small baking dish, a sieve, small bowl, a measuring jug & a grater

Roast the basa

Zest and halve the lime. In the small bowl, combine the tamari, hot honey and lime zest
Pat the basa dry with kitchen paper, then place into the small baking dish. Season with salt and pepper. Pour over the honey tamari marinade and roast for 10 mins, until cooked through

Boil the noodles

Thinly slice the pepper. Roughly dice the onion. Cut the pak choi into bite-sized pieces
Add the noodles to the saucepan of boiling water, gently separate with a fork and boil for 6-7 mins, until cooked. Drain, then rinse under cold water

Simmer the sauce

Heat the large saucepan with 2 tsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pepper and onion and cook for 4-5 mins, until softened. Season with salt and pepper
Add the pak choi and massaman paste and cook for another 1-2 mins, then add the creamed coconut and 200ml water (100ml for 1 person). Stir until dissolved and simmer for 3-4 mins, until reduced slightly

Finish & plate up

Roughly chop the coriander
Add the cooked noodles and the juice from half the lime to the sauce. Simmer for 1 min, until hot, then remove from the heat. Season to taste
Check your fish is cooked through; it should be steaming hot, opaque and separate easily with a fork
Share the massaman noodles between bowls, topped with the basa. Spoon over any remaining sauce from the dish. Scatter over the coriander and cashews. Garnish with the remaining lime, cut into wedges
