  1. Preheat the oven to 240C / fan 220C / gas mark 9. Thinly slice the shallots. Heat a large frying pan with 1 tbsp oil on medium heat. Add the shallots and cook for 4-5 mins, until softened.
  2. Add the Asian paste and one-third of the korma paste to the pan. Cook for 1 min, then pour in the coconut milk, tamari and 300ml hot water. Bring to a boil then simmer for 4-5 mins, until reduced slightly.
  3. Place the hake onto a lined baking tray and rub with the remaining korma paste and a pinch of sea salt. Bake for 10-12 mins, until cooked through.
  4. Finely chop the spinach and coriander. Halve the baby corn lengthways. Halve the lime. Add the spinach, corn and coriander to the broth. Simmer for 4-5 mins, until the veg is soft. Season with the juice from half the lime (to taste), a pinch of sea salt and black pepper.
  5. Bring a large saucepan filled with salted hot water to a boil. Add the noodles, gently separate with a fork, and boil for 3-4 mins, until cooked, then drain. Drain, then rinse under cold water.
  6. Serve the noodles in bowls topped with the fish. Pour in the broth and garnish with the coconut chips and remaining lime, cut into wedges.
