Cooking Instructions
Before you start
- Turn the grill to high (240C)
- Line a baking tray with silver foil
- Pull out a large frying pan, a large saucepan, a large bowl, 2 medium bowls, a grater & a sieve
Marinate & grill the barramundi
- Zest and halve the lime
- In the large bowl, combine half the tamari, half the hot honey and the lime zest
- Coat the barramundi in the marinade, then lay, skin-side up, onto the foil-lined baking tray. Drizzle with 2 tsp oil and any remaining marinade
- Grill the barramundi for 19 mins, until cooked through
Prep the sambal & veg
- Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine the lemongrass puree, three-quarters of the ginger & garlic paste, half the chilli paste, the remaining hot honey and remaining tamari
- Trim and cut the pak choi into bite-sized pieces. Trim and cut the broccoli into thirds. Halve the carrots lengthways, then slice into 1/2cm half-moons. Halve the sugar snaps
Boil the noodles & make the peanut chilli dressing
- Bring the large saucepan filled with salted water to a boil. Once boiling, add the noodles, gently separate with a fork and boil for 6-7 mins, until cooked. Drain, then rinse under cold water
- Roughly chop the peanuts
- In the other medium bowl, combine the chopped peanuts, juice from half the lime, remaining chilli paste, remaining ginger & garlic paste, 2 tsp olive oil and a splash of water. Season with salt and pepper
Bring the dish together
- Heat the large frying pan with 1 tbsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the carrot, broccoli and sugar snaps and cook for 5-7 mins, until softened
- Add the sambal and pak choi and cook for 1-2 mins, until wilted. Add the noodles and stir until heated through. Season to taste
Plate up
- Check your fish is cooked through; it should be steaming hot, opaque and separate easily with a fork
- Serve the sambal matang noodles into bowls, topped with the barramundi. Garnish with the remaining lime, cut into wedges. Drizzle over the chilli peanut dressing
